The likelyhoodnis they will be a baby so my advise to parents would be, don’t treat your child any different. Let them know they can live a happy, healthy and long life, exercise and dream big. There is plenty of people with cf available online to chat with, don’t be afraid to ask for advise.

Do not search about the disease on the internet (the information that is provided frighten) look for support groups in facebook instead. Be calm and do the treatment right. And know that Jehovah God promises that soon the disease will cease to exist (Isaiah.33:24) For more information, visit www.jw.org/pt
