The future is something no one can predict. But I can tell you that based on the past and what was shared at the Volunteer Leadership Conference this past weekend, the future of CF is going to continue to change. Change can sometimes be good and bad, but in this instance, things are looking so…

Getting Organized is a Sign of Self-Respect
2023 is going to be the year where my organization skills, trips and tricks are really going to be tested and I’m ok with that. This year will be the year for adventures. Keep an eye out for all the posts from the updates. To start off, Maddox is transitioning his enzymes at the start…
Mixed Bag of Emotions
How can a person feel so helpless and hopeful in the same breath of air? I ask because that’s me! Maddox had his quarterly CF appointment recently. Dr Pete stated that Maddox is a healthy little dude. His lungs sound good but he’s still a little one compared to all his peers. He kept shaking…

Most Recent CF Appointment
There was a point in my life that I absolutely hated going to the hospital and doctor’s offices. The really bright lights, everyone in scrubs, furniture that was extremely uncomfortable and the sterile smell of all the cleaning chemicals. I still don’t look forward to parking in the parking lot of the hospitals and the…
