Colton has cystic fibrosis which is a terminal lung disease. It affects the lungs, pancreas & GI system. Colton is now 9 will be turning 10 in May. He was diagnosed when he was 2 weeks old with his newborn screen. He had a follow up at Riley for a sweat test which resulted in confirmation of him having Cystic Fibrosis.
Colton receives care at Riley children’s hospital by the CF care team.
He takes multiple medications daily that include breathing treatments, vitamins, enzymes , & a shaker vest. He has a tube placed October of 2015 he just now was able to be approved to have it removed.
He has had 3 hospital stays once for gtube placement , the other 2 due to being ill. Colton has underwent lung surgery by having chest tubes put into his lungs to drain them due to pneumonia. That was a little over a month stay.
Colton was recently diagnosed with severe adhd so that’s an added medication to his daily routine.
He is a spunky, silly, smart fun loving 9 year old boy with a huge heart! He loves to draw, watch movies, color, & build things. His favorites are penguins, grinch, & jack skellington! His favorite color is Blue :)

We hope to continue to grow and raise money for the cystic fibrosis foundation to better help find a cure for this nasty disease! Please join us in this fight so that one day CF will stand for 💜CURE FOUND💜
