When you have a child with cystic fibrosis....

When you have a child with cystic fibrosis they might say something like...

Anna: My belly is hurting.
Mom: Do you need to go to the bathroom?
Anna: No, I just need a hug.


Anna: I just blessed myself with my germs.
Mom: What?
Anna: I had my finger in my mouth before I touched my head.

Mom: Anna, if I could I would take all your coughs for myself so you could feel better.
Anna: But, Mom, I don't want you to be sick.

Anna: I made Jesus happy. I ate all my food!

Mom: Move over, Anna, I am going to crawl into bed with you.
Anna: But, Mommy, it has my germs.

Anna: I'm sorry, Mom, when I hugged you I put germs on your shoulder.
Mom: It's ok, Anna, I am not afraid of your germs and I never will be.
