	Dear e-Patients, Happy New Year. I hope you have all enjoyed rest and peace this holiday season. A new year can signify new beginnings, new journeys, and hope. Listen to Anna O. Tsang, RN, NPN, MSN as she answers the following questions so often asked in our Pregnancy category: What is it that makes the pregnancy of a CF patient "high risk"? How can risk to the mother and fetus be decreased? What are the recommended health benchmarks (i.e., FEV1, BMI, etc.) that should be met in order to have a healthy pregnancy? What resources are available to help a couple weigh the decision whether or not to have children? Contact the CFRI for your DVD and listen to Anna O. Tsang's CFRI Conference presentation: "Sexuality and Reproduction in Cystic Fibrosis". Our own Julie Raysbrook discusses her and her husband Mark’s inspiring journey through In Vitro Fertilization and the birth of their triplets. Julie is also the Founder of the Disability Advocates for Cystic Fibrosis. Listen and be inspired! The BEF is also providing Sacks For CF Scholarship information...watch the Superbowl!
