I have a daughter with CF, She had a baby this year and I'm so glad that She looks so healthy and happy with My gorgeous grandson. Believe me a made her to do her treatments everyday, It's not hard to take care of a person with CF, if you really love that person, you want to give your life for them. GOD IS THE OWNER OF EVERYTHING, SO YOU MUST ASK HIM TO PRESERVE THE LIFE OF YOUR FAMILY AND KEEP ASKING HIM, HE WOULD MAKE THE MIRACLE. HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
I hope she is still fighting her battle like a hero and is living the life of her dreams. Lots of prayers.
Hey, we have CF too! We have an older sister who also has it. It can be really tough sometimes but we fight this battle together & it feels good to have the people you love around you that can relate to how you feel, ya know? But anyways, keep up the great work & don't let CF get you down! We will fight & conquer this battle together 😊💪✊
Tara; you are the strongest, bravest living person I know. I pray that you get another chance for a transplant. Our heart & prayers are with you . You are a true inspiration for all.......wish more had your courage in life.. Hope & love is what you live on .. so.. chin up girl _Bless you
Bless you, your family, and loved ones, thank you for sharing your story. I participated/volunteered in my first CF foundation great strides walk today, in West Virginia. I plan to get as involved as I can as time goes on. Last year I learned I was a carrier for CF, and no one in my family, paternal/maternal, was aware of being a carrier. I recently became a father of beautiful identical twin girls, both positive for CF. Born at 28 weeks 6 days. Strongest little girls. They have inspired me to do something greater with my time in this world. Very sadly, this past week I lost one of my girls at 68 days. Devestating. I am still figuring out how to come to terms with it. God has a plan for everyone, no matter how brief a life is, there is a purpose and change made in this world. Her sister is doing well as can be and I hope to take her home from the hospital very soon. She begins her enzymes this coming week. I am very blessed to have an emotionally supportive family surrounding me and we are getting through this tough time by coming together as one. May my sweet little girl rest in heaven and watch over her sister. Forever in my heart
I have CF to and yes there is a lot about it, and just a couple of months ago I got a medication called “Trikafta“ and it truly changed my life. And it is scary, you don’t know ur future. Not knowing if u can go to college or have children if u don’t make it that far in life
I am from India. I am 21 years old . Struggling with shortness of breath for more than one and half years. Still struggling. Sometimes I feel better, Sometimes I feel very bad , I am very tired, frequent fever and almost feeling fainted 😭
First diagnosed with Pneumonitis and then some ct's are taken. Some doctors tell scars(fibrotic bands) in the lungs but it's okay, You are alright. But my problems symptoms are same , not cured?
I also had acid reflux and belch more than a year . I diagnosed with stomach ulcer.
Some doctors didn't understand my pain. Still didn't got proper medication. Please help someone 😥,
living with pain
I hate the Nature which causes our lives so sad,
How to contact you iam facing same problem
Here in the UK my niece has just moved in with her boyfriend who has cystic fibrosis. They are both in their mid-twenties. Unfortunately if they marry he does want to have children as he has been told that any child he father's will have a 25% of having the illness. Very sad. But things are improving. I am 59 years old and I remember that when I was young people with CF rarely lived past adolescence.
That is not true. Cf is a dominant motation and not a recessive one. Untill and unless both the parents have atleast one allel for the CF gene their childern will be perfectly healthy and will only be a carrier of the cf gene. Your beice can get her genetic test done and if she is not a carrier they can have perfectly healthy kids ❤❤

All the best to you Tara and thanks for making this video. The word is getting out about CF because of people like you sharing your videos. God Bless You
Tara you're Inspiration! very nice video!
God bless you. God sees your suffering and will reward you in the future. Be patient.
thank you for sharing your video, it helps a lot especially for a mom like me who lost a son perhaps due to this disease. My son was only two days old when suddenly he had difficulty in breathing, at that time he was already screened but the newborn screen result had yet to be released. It was seven months later when I and my husband had been informed that my son had cystic fibrosis and that he needed to be tested for further confirmation but he already passed after 2 days of given birth. At the time of his passing, we were really confused why my son suddenly suffer from difficulty in breathing and he did not take his feeding. We rushed him to the hospital but five minutes after we were catered in the emergency care, he was not able to get through. It was the saddest part of our lives, just remembering those time brought so much agony for me and my husband. We were blaming each other thinking we havent done well or that much for our son. We did not know that he had CF until such time his newborn screen result was released. We didnt know what is CF, so I had to google it and that's how I come across your video. It is painful to lost my son, It has been 2 years and the pain still lingers. But your video helps me understand and somehow accept why my Ronan could not make it. I hope you will not lose hope of fighting to live, you are blessed because your are able to make it 23 years of life. How i wish my Ronan had able to survive with it because I will really do whatever it takes just to make my son live..
I'm a healthy lucky one🤗
Thanks for sharing your story Tara, i wish you are feeling well now. Live long girl!
I only have to deal with bronchiectasis and it’s not great. God bless all your people.
My grand daughter was just born with cf.
You are the bravest woman ,I salute you
Tara, I have signed on to save a life here in Australia. A card we hold In our wallet. I have decided to surrender all of my organs if I shall die unexpectedly. My family knows all my wishes as they have also discussed with me. I have had friends growing up with CF in the church. One close friend who lived five years post transplant, was a wonderful thing. Bless you.
cool video, very well done.
Thank you for sharing and I’m hopeful that you are doing better with your new lungs
I want to hug her
I'm terrified about my future now..
Don't be love, live one day at a time. I am a am diagnosed with the disease in my 20's. Much love ❤
Beautiful woman, I hope you're doing well
