This just made me laugh and laugh...it is so true!!! :)

You Know You've Been Dealing With CF Too Long When ....

-You've used puppets, toys, sung, danced, pleaded and generally made a fool
out of yourself all in an effort to get your child to eat.
-You've stockpiled enough applesauce to start your own factory
-You find loose enzyme beads literally everywhere, the car, your clothes,
the ceiling (not joking)
-You count more calories than sheep
-You add salt to everything and use butter as a general cooking base even
when a recipe doesn't call for it
-You panic when your child sneezes
-Your child coughs and you immediately chant "Xopinex four times a day!"
-You check websites daily for news about a cure
-Your house has more medications than the pharmacy
-You've actually found yourself explaining a medication to the pharmacist,
instead of the other way around
-You've considered dying all your child's clothes yellow to hide the vitamin
stains
-Your medical bills are looking more and more like the national debt
-You've prayed for your child to be fat
-You have a strong urge to smack whiny parents of "normal" kids
-You've actually found yourself exclaiming angrily in the grocery store upon
discovering extra-cheesy mac doesn't have more calories than regular (sadly
true)
-You know what the poopie dance is, and you've done it
-You've had long involved discussions with other parents about poo
-You've started referring to everything in acronyms (CPT, PA, MRSA...)

more than most doctors

the baby (this one's for you Danielle!)

-Your child comes with an instruction manual if you leave them with a sitter
-You've forgotten what normal is
-You find empty enzyme capsules in your pockets
-Your child wears a neb mask more easily than they do a hat
-Your child has started trying to do their own CPT
-You own every Baby Einstein video made and are eagerly awaiting more just
for something different
-You've forgotten to put meds in the nebulizer and actually let it run
several minutes before discovering the problem
