Finding
the beauty in every breath.
When
it is finally revealed that I have CF, people generally give me a blank stare
and smile, not knowing what exactly CF is. I can't blame them, as CF is
something only around 30,000 people have in the United States. Many people have
heard of CF, but don’t know exactly what it is. Also, CF is such a complex and
somewhat confusing disease that it is difficult to give a "general"
explanation. There is so much about CF that I myself don’t understand, so
it's even difficult for me to give an adequate, concise, and
understandable explanation.
- congests the lungs and causes scarring, decreased lung function, and life threatening lung infections resulting in hospitalizations, endless usage of antibiotics and drugs, and ultimately respiratory failure.
My
lungs are temperamental and can get really “angry.”
No
absorption of nutrients/fats = EAT. EAT. EAT.
- The Great Strides Walk is looking for volunteers to help set up and tear down. Come and help us make this day most incredible for all the families and friends fighting for a cure for CF. Please message me for details on how you can help share goodness for all impacted by CF. breathebravely@gmail.com or message me on Facebook.
