Addison, you are so darned cute! Cousin Jack, cousin Amy and I can't wait to meet you someday! We want to come see you soon too; once we're done with our house stuff...okay, so it may be a while!
CF is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. A defective gene causes the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucous that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections, obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. The predicted median age of survival for a person with CF is now more than 37 years old.
