CF and Children

Hello, I am 25 yrs. old and I have been thinking of weather I should or should not have children. I want some input on how it is like raising children while also fighting Cystic Fibrosis. Although I definitely want children, I don't want to feel like I'm being selfish. My main concern is not having the energy or getting too sick at some point where I wont be able to care for my child as I should or would like to. My boyfriend and I have talked about it several times and he is always very supportive. He tells me that if I want children we'll make it happen even if we have to adopt, and if I decide I don't want children he is ok with that as well. I am still healthy enough to do anything, I have a full time job in healthcare and for the most part I feel good, but when I get sick all I want to do is lay in bed, I fell tired and beat and the non-stop coughing makes my body feel like my house just crumbled on top of me. That is what worries me the most. How have you mothers or fathers with Cystic Fibrosis managed parenthood? would love everyone's input and advice.
