The Booger
Wesley was diagnosed with CF at 2 weeks old and has been a Rockstar ever since then! Although he is a rather healthy CFer, he has worked very hard to stay that way!!
At 5 years old, he has racked in almost 800 hours of physical therapy with his Vest alone! That doesn't even count the manual PT his does everyday too! He has also mastered swallowing all of his medications whole, which one of them is 5 at a time with meals! Sometimes he'll do 3plus2 or 4plus1 but generally will shoot all 5 in at a time!!
His favorite thing to eat is peanut butter and he will put it on everything! He will even use it for his french fries instead of ketchup! I've seen him go as far as dipping a dumdum sucker in some peanut butter and actually enjoy it.
He is a huge GAMER! His favorites are Minecraft and Roblox! He has probably watched every single YouTube video about those games and learned to do it himself. It's always "Creepers" this or "Pet Simulator" that!! As much as it doesnt make sense to me it's a plus to be compliant during treatment times!
Together, for all CFers, we will keep kicking CFs butt!
