Dutton was diagnosed with CF at just 10 days old through his newborn screening. I remember feeling overwhelmed with emotion and lots of questions were running through my head when his pediatrician shared the news with us. That same day we met with his CF team to learn more about his diagnosis and what to expect. In the moment, it was hard to see God's plan, but it's much clearer now. We get to help so many CF families by bringing awareness, donating, golfing/sponsoring in CF golf outings, walking in CF walks, and sharing our story with other parents going through similar situations. We are grateful for all of the CF support systems that are in place to help all of these families.

Dutton is now 4 years old; he takes a variety of medications that help his body digest and absorb the nutrients. He also receives chest physiotherapy (the vibrating vest) for 20 minutes accompanied with neb treatments twice a day to help break up any mucous in his airway. We visit his CF team in Green Bay every few months to make sure everything is going okay and to discuss any changes with treatments. Other than him having CF, Dutty is a happy and healthy little boy.

Thank you for reading our story. We appreciate all of your support!
