Ava is in 10th grade at Nicolet High School. Ava was originally diagnosed when she was 1 years old and was sick with 2 kinds of infections. Despite the newborn screening program Ava was not diagnosed at birth. But rather just before her 1st Birthday after a sweat chloride test at Children's. Thats when we met the with Cf team at Children's. Who told us they are now her 2nd family. While dealing with the heart break of this devasting news this we began to realize the incredable care at Children's and the treatments and medicines developed by the Cf foundation would be Ava's lifeline. We are thankful for all the things that have helped Keep Ava healthy over the years. This includes daily vest and nebulizer treatments and specialized antibiotics. At the time of her diagnosis Ava was already very sick with lung infections and spent 16 days recieving IV Antibiotics treatment.
In February 2018 Ava was hospitalized with a lung infection which required a 2 week hospital stay. At the time she was diganosed with CF releated diabetes. This has presented Ava with a new challenge of managing diabetes along with her CF Health. Ava is extremely active and doesn't let her Cf or diabetes slow her down.
She got her license on her Birthday and recieved a car for her present. She's on the Tennis and Gymnastics team at Nicolet. In her spare time in the Winter she likes to snowboard and spend time with friends at the mall.
