Hi!!! This is Sun!!! I’m like most kids but I have Cystic Fibrosis or CF for short. I got it because my mom and dad are both carriers. It’s genetic so it’s not contagious. My mom and dad were suprised and worried because they didn’t know what it was, sooooooooo the doctors told them how to take care of me and here are some of the things I do to keep myself healthy:
-
1. Pills. I take at least 23 of them a day!!!
-
2. Treatments. That’s when a machine shakes me up while I breathe in mist through a nebulizer. I do one in the morning and one at night when I'm healthy, and extras when I'm sick with a cough.
-
3. Doctors appointments. I have to go to the doctor more often than most other kids. I go to a CF clinic every three months that is two and a half hours away!!! They check on my weight and take my blood and do a throat swab and listen to my lungs. Sometimes they even do X-rays or ultrasounds!!! The appointments are long!!!
-
4. Germs. I have to stay away from germs more than other kids because if I get a germ the sickness could be much worse for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, I just started a research study to help scientists understand why so many people that have CF develop diabetes and to help stop that from happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was horriffic at times, but I'm going to power through it because I know I'm doing it for good.
