Deborah was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis right after she was born and was considered as failure to thrive. She was started on pancreatic enzymes immediately to help her grow as her pancreas does not function to digest fats or proteins. Since then we have had to add in respiratory therapy and inhaled medications to help break up sticky mucus in her lungs which causes coughs and infections. She also started new life changing meds that were developed with the help of the CF foundations fundraisers. We are so incredibly thankful for this foundation that has truly made Deborah’s quality of life so much better. She is currently thriving and living her best life, but we understand that living with CF is a daily battle that she will bravely continue to fight.
We appreciate all donations and support to the CF foundation that has made such a difference for Deborah and CF patients like her. Cheer Deborah on in her fight against CF!
