Team Gunner
Gunner is the happiest 19 month old you will ever meet. He loves playing with his big brother, Beaux. He is obsessed with farm animals (especially ducks) and loves singing wheels on the bus. His favorite thing is to play outside.
Gunner was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis in utero. When Gunner was born he underwent surgery for a blocked bowel only hours after birth due to CF. He was left with two ostomy bags and stayed in NICU to recover. After 8 weeks he went back to surgery to reconnect his bowels and also add a feeding tube. Gunner spent 75 days total in the NICU. Gunner was able to remove his feeding tube in August of 2024.
When you have Cystic Fibrosis there are a lot of extra things in your daily routine. Gunner takes 3-6 pills before every meal or snack to help his pancreas absorb the nutrients, he has breathing treatments once a day, and chest physical therapy (CPT) at least twice a day.
The current life expectancy for someone with CF is 50+ years. We are so proud of how far research has come within the last few years, but we still need a cure. We will fight until CF= CURE FOUND!!
