There are many restrictions and precautions when you have a life-threatening disease. A compromised immune system makes some of the most popular childhood activities dangerous. Every case of cystic fibrosis is different. Therefore, parents must use their best judgement regarding their child. Kadyn gets sick...a lot. She does get to do many many fun things, but she has also paid the price numerous times. While we have always vowed to let Kadyn live and try (as much as possible) not to keep her in a bubble, we have taken a firm stand against some activities that pose a threat. Gymnastics has always been one of those for us. We told Kadyn "no" to classes. She didn't cry or whine. She pulled up YouTube videos and began to learn all she could. She's determined to be a gymnast no matter what. It's been remarkable watching Kadyn work so hard. But, just yesterday she asked "Mom, do you think there will be a cure for CF by this summer so I can start taking gymnastics class?" Because of the incredible kindness of some very special people we didn't have to wait for a cure. Kadyn's dream came true today. It was magical, beautiful, heartwarming, and as Kadyn said..."This was the very best day ever!" There is truly no way to adequately express our thanks to Stephen Morgan, Fox 5 news and the wonderful people at the Springfield Y for giving Kadyn this gift. It is a day none of us will ever forget. We are all going to sleep tonight with smiles that are refusing to fade. You are all angels ❤️ We also want to thank Crystal and Mark Harrington and Indie Blue Salon for hosting such an awesome fundraiser and raising awareness for Cystic Fibrosis! Cannot wait to see who is next!

"In late-stage clinical trials, Orkambi was shown to improve lung function in people with CF and significantly reduce the rate of pulmonary exacerbations, which can lead to frequent hospitalizations and worsening lung function. The drug was developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. with significant financial and clinical support from the Foundation."

I described this situation to Koy and he said he would go see the puppies. Then, I showed him the video. I think it scared him as much as his answer scared me. Kadyn, was in the other room so I went in and explained the same situation to her. She said "No way! It could be a trap!" Two kids who have heard the exact same things come out of my mouth about strangers...two different answers. I was blown away. I urge you to watch this and talk to your kids.
