What is Cystic Fibrosis?
I learned about cystic fibrosis, or CF, when my infant son was diagnosed with it in 2007. CF is a genetic disease that affects his lungs, pancreas, digestive system, and sinuses. Our son is 4 1/2 now and takes about 35 pills every day. He sits through hours of breathing treatments and airway clearance therapy to keep his lungs working properly. Staying healthy is a lot of work for him, but we have so much hope. Because of the work of The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Brady has a great chance at living a healthy normal life. A new drug called Kalydeco was approved by FDA on Jan. 31st, 2011 that Brady just began taking a few weeks ago! We are already noticing amazing changes in his health! We can't express how grateful we are for the gift the CFF is giving to us with this new drug. Please help us give back to them, and help bring drugs like this to everyone suffering from CF.
