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.

This photo of Addie waiting at the window for her Daddy is really precious. She is so photogenic!
I think you have the cutest little girl I have seen in a long time! I'm biased toward my three nieces, but Addison is a CLOSE fourth!
I love her smile. She just makes me laugh out loud with that big grin.
