My diagnosis

I was 2weeks old when my mommy noticed my bm looked weird,i was continually hungry.At 3weeks my mom got the call from my doctor stating i tested positive for a disease called Cystic fibrosis. I went to cardinal glennon the very next day for a sweat test&she learned the results the same day.I am Brody's mother typing this.the news was devastating & so was the average life span of one who suffers from it.Hes been hospitalized only twice so far&for that were greatful.Brody's second hospital stay was surgery to have a G.i placed to help me gain weight.i am doing okay right now&hope to continue to do so.
