LETTER FROM A LOCAL CYSTIC FIBROSIS MOM
What would you do? What would you do if you were told your beautiful baby girl has Cystic
Fibrosis. You would quite breathing. You'd quit listening. You would quit believing. You don't
hear what the doctor is saying anymore. You have to learn it all later. Day after day. More
information. More bad news. You stop believing that your life is great and that your family is
happy and healthy and safe, The doctor visits start immediately. The therapy starts that day.
The medication list seems unreal. How does a baby take 30 pills a day? Every time she eats?
With every bottle, every bowl of pablum, every cookie? How do you get a toddler to lay still for
30 minutes, 3 or 4 times a day while you thump their back, chest and sides? For a long time
your life becomes all about this diagnosis. Every decision revolves around it. Where you go
what you eat, who you see, what you do. How are we possibly going to get through this? I
asked myself this everyday. And then, somehow, years later, you realize you are getting
through this. You do it day by day. Some good, some bad, and some very bad. And still, 15 years
later, my heart stops when I hear the cough. And every doctor visit could mean an unexpected
2 weeks stay in the hospital. But everyday, my beautiful baby girl wakes up smiling. Everyday
she loves life. She loves to run, and play and laugh and work hard. She amazes me. She doesn't
deserve this. No one does. Medications get better and therapy improves as time goes by, but
no child should have to fight for breath. This life is normal to her, believe it or not. She doesn't
know what it feels like to breathe without coughing, to eat without pills, to go without so much
pain in her stomach, and to spend more time laughing instead of doing physical therapy. I can't
wait for that day.

"Excellent event. Thank you for hosting this. My girls are still talking about it today and how
wonderful the princess's were. Good to see such a huge turnout and it was a pleasure to be at
