Hello to all of our family & friends!
It is that time of year again, where we fundraise for our son Reid and all others who battle this disease every day.
Reid has had a great year! He has been healthy, and we are so thankful. He began running on the track team in Middle School and has continued with that now that he has started High School. This is so good for his lungs, and he has really enjoyed being on the team. He even placed 3rd in the County race last year! We are beyond proud.
Reid continues to do his daily treatments. He does his vest twice a day (more when he's sick), breathing treatments, and enzymes with every meal. He is also on the amazing medication called Trikafta (which was created with YOUR donation money!) which helps his lung function to be at it's best. He continues to go to Clinic to meet with his doctors every 3 months and they are always amazed at how healthy he has been (& never been hospitalized for anything CF related-can I get an AMEN!?). We love his team! He still borders on the edge of having CF Related Diabetes. He has been awesome in monitoring his sugars and has kept it away for now. We pray that it continues and that he doesn't develop it in the future.
With all of this great news, we do know that there is currently no cure for Reid. We pray continuously that he does not develop a nasty bacteria in his lungs that could put him in the hospital. It could happen at any time. Life expectancy is averaging at 53 years old (this grows each year and depends on many factors). But we know that God is watching over him and has BIG plans for him and his life. Please consider donating to our Team and coming out to walk with us on May 17th. We'd love to have your support!
Love,
Michael, Mandy, Maya & Reid
