Hi! I'm a CF Mom (M) and my son is Lil' Chris. He is 10 years old. He's not so little anymore, so we just call him Chris or CJ now;) He was born with a fatal genetic lung disease called Cystic Fibrosis. This is where I keep a record of EVERYTHING(including lots of pictures and videos:) My sister(D) and I started this blog to not only keep a record of everything and keep family updated, but to interact with other CF families as well. That way we can all help each other out by sharing useful information:) I've learned soooo much already and so can you! Come along for the ride! I try to update whenever I can=)

This is a great spot to start out on our blog so you know our story...Start Here

PS. Lil' Chris has a lil' sister named Ayla(pronounced long A-luh)! She is 20 months younger than Chris and does not have CF and isn't even a carrier.
