Colton's Crew

Colton is one out of 30,000 living with Cystic Fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis is a terminal lung disease that affects Lungs, Pancreas & Digestive System. Our bodies build up mucus thats pretty thin, with cf it becomes a glue like consinstency and blocks off the airways making it hard to breathe. Each day is a struggle for a person living with CF.This isnt a disease that you can see its considered a " hidden" disease. Most people living with this end up having to have 1 or more lung transplants during their life.

Having CF requires medications daily some more then others just depending on how severe their case it. Unfortunetly coltons mutation are DDF508 which is the most common , its also the mutation where its most common they get the most sick, but on the plus side this specific mutation qualifies for certain medications to help prolong their life.

Colton was diagnosed at 2 weeks old with CF. Since then he has been admitted 3 times to Riley Childrens 2/3 admissions ended with surgeries. The first surgery he needed was a Gtube placement in which he needed due to being diagnosed with failure to thrive, his second resulted in chest drain tubes being put in due to the fact that he had severe pnemomia. He was admitted into the PICU for 5 days then back to his Cf pulmoary floor. He did a 21 day antibiotic for this pnemonia as well. He was in Riley for an entire month before we was clear to go home. Since then we have delt with some issues buit not many he has scar tissue that will not go away until he is about the age of 7 or so this makes his become sick every now and then. He is on multiple medications he takes daily. Colton is now 9 years old, needless to say the first  6 years of his life have been really rough for him. On top of his cf he has also been diagnosed with severe ADHD.
