Cystic fibrosis patient: One kid's amazing story with this genetic lung disease

The parents of 7-year-old Alec Scharenbroch know what it’s like to care for a child with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), a genetic lung disease found in one in 3,000 babies that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time.

I lost my wonderful daughter Vanessa in 2010 and l can't seem to get past it. I don't want medication . I was wondering if possibly there was a parent out there l could talk to. I desperately want to be with her again and hear her laugh and say hey dad. Too all the kids and you g adults out there, take care , l love you all, surely modern defeat this disease. Thanks for listening, from K.C. MO.

My little brother has cf and it’s about 4:30 in the morning and I just finished crying for about 45 minutes over the fact that my brother has cf and so so so many different aspects of that. I really needed to hear some stories about other people with cf.

Keep your chin up sweetie. ❤️ I was told they did not know if my son would survive when he was 7 weeks old. He is a happy, and TOTALLY typical 15 year old now. The medical advances in the last 15 years have been amazing. I am certain the next 15 years will reap the same. XOXOXO God bless you and your sweet baby.
