Jacob's Journey

Jacob's Journey Jacob is my 16 year old son. He was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 6 days old. There is no cure for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) YET! Thank you all for your support!

Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited genetic disease that affects the upper respiratory system and the digestive system. Donations and fundraisers are the only way to finance research for CF in order to help find a cure. My son Jacob was diagnosed with CF at 6 days old. He receives treatments from the CF clinic at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. Right now he is doing very well with the treatments for i

t. He uses a puffer with albuterol twice a day then follows that with a nebulizer treatment with the medicine hypertonic sailine then a physiotherapy treatment in which he wears a vest that vibrates for thirty minutes twice a day. These helps loosen the mucus on his lungs that become thick and sticky in people with CF which causes lung infections and makes it hard to breathe. After his vest treatment it is followed by another nebulizer treatment with the medicine pulmozyme. He also takes pancreatic enzymes with each and every meal to help him digest his meals because his body does not break down enzymes correctly like "normal" bodies do in order to digest food properly. This is just an overall summary of CF. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
