Undertaking this study for the first time in over 20 years was going to be a challenge. However, i didn’t expect to also be dealing with a family tragedy at the same time. My newborn niece was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis and this has sent all of us into chaos and grief. I took leave from work to help at the hospital and to deal with my own grief. Unfortunately at the same time I was due to be a part of the project team at work to be inserviced on PBL to deliver it within our school. I still hope to be part of this, and catch up as I’m very passionate about it, but at the same time our world has been turned upside down. I want to use this post to also bring more awareness to the life changing, life limiting chronic illness of CF and for others to appreciate the impact that this disease has on families. I also wanted to bring light to the fact that our journeys are never certain and just when you think you are on a certain trajectory life can change that in an instant.
