Hustling for Hudson
Hudson was born with a condition called Meconium Ilius. We were told at the time that it was likely that he had Cystic Fibrosis because Meconium Ilius is typically related to Cystic Fibrosis, but we refused to believe this. Alex (dad) and I (mom) were both tested for Cystic Fibrosis genes and I was found to be a carrier and Alex was not. After 12 days in the NICU and multiple procedures, Hudson's Meconium Ilius was resolved and we started him on his first medication, Creon. Something we learned he would now have to take every time he eats to properly digest fats. That is just one of the many medications Hudson requires daily for his little body to try to function properly.
When Hudson was 2 months old, he was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. We found out through genetic testing that the gene Alex carries is rare (only found in one other case) and there isn't any information available on the type of Cystic Fibrosis the Hudson has. Since then Hudson has been to more doctors appointments and had more tests done then we can count.
Although Hudson has had a few hurdles, such as serious liver issues and bacterial pneumonia he is doing tremendously. We are confident that Hudson will continue to grow and overcome any obstacles that he is presented with. With that being said, we would love your help to spread awareness about Cystic Fibrosis and raise funds to help find in the path to a cure. We now truly know that to breathe well is a gift and with your help we can give that life long gift to Hudson.
We invite you to take part in Great Strides by joining our team. We promise, you belong here! This event promises to be a fun-filled day where you can help advance the care and research needed to cure cystic fibrosis. By walking with us, you’ll enjoy not only the natural camaraderie (yes, lots of laughter!), but the important impact we are making together.
While the CF Foundation has made incredible progress, not everyone with CF can benefit from existing therapies and we still need a cure. This will require time, funding, and persistence – but with you on our team – we are ready to go the distance.
Our team is committed to providing every person with CF the opportunity to live a long, healthy life. Will you join us?
