Robbie's drugs cost approximately $100 per week ($1400 for the 14 weeks). His compressor cost $344. and the tubing, etc costs extra. Fortunately for the Wades, the drugs and equipment get 100 per cent coverage through Mr. Wade's place of, employment. Other families get help from the Society for Crippled Children. Mrs. Wade says Robbie's treatments are worked into the family's daily routine. Kelli, Robbie's older sister, is so used to the routine that she will remind her parents if anything is amiss. "She's very protective," says Mrs. Wade. As Robbie gets older," he will be able to administer most of his own treatment. Some children, especially boys, become angry and resentful of their disease as they get older. "The key is to give them a lot of love and to °make them feel as comfortable with their treatments as you can," says Mrs. Wade. The Wades have a portable compressor which they can plug into the lighter of their car for Robbie if they are going on long trips. With proper scheduling, his treat- ment doesn't much interfere with his life or theirs. The doctor has also told Mrs. Wade to be flexible with treatment, perhaps even skipping it on a special day GODERICH SIGNALSTAR, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1981—PAGE 3A like Christmas or a birthday. Since moving to Goderich, the Wades have not encountered any other families with CF children. "It is, nice to have families to talk to. There were five families in Stratford," says Mrs. Wade. The Wades still belong to the Kitchener - Waterloo Chapter of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF) . This chapter meets every, second month and has guest. speakers and social activities. Gymn and swim programs and sports. activities are emphasized for the children. The more ac- tivity they get, the . better their lungs. become. Mrs. Wade has spoken on CF to nurses in both Stratford and Goderich. And the Whole Wade family recently'attened a din- ner put on by the Goderich Kinsmen and Kinette Clubs at which time Mrs. Wade spoke on CF again.
