Tell us again how you raised a CF'er, Sheri

She was diagnosed at 7 and half months of age

mad that it wasn't found at birth

destroyed the breast feeding

came home did percussions on her chest twice a day

sprinkled enzymes in applesauce

talking and walking at age 1

into Handi care child care center

age 3, Beth, do you think you can swallow these pills?

yeah, mom, did it successfully

into school, surgery, polyps, adnoids, and tubes put in

we got the Flutter device, we did huff coughs

no psudamonas, great doctor visits, needed meds for liver

age 9, she started running races

all other kinds of activities

started her on Ibuprofen anti inflammatory treatment

cooked her rich, homemade meals with fresh fruit cups for dessert

pushed the calories, didn't gain a pound

we got the vest, so thankful, it was covered

still no psudamonas

did a study through the clinic to figure out why

she got paid for it

into jr. high, she was into all kinds of sports, including running

high school, doing the scandi shakes, and powder to increase calories

she was captain of the cross country team

soccer was her sport, and got the All Heart Award

got into college, age 18, she got psudamonas for the first time

so it colonized in her lungs
