My oldest is 18 today. When he was 5 he was falsely diagnosed with Cystic-fibrosis. At the time his life expectancy was approximately 8 yrs of age. Today he is a 6'3", healthy as a horse, young man. I am so thankful the Lord let us have the privilege of watching him grown into a wonderful young man.

    That is so nice. I'm sorry you had to go through it but glad it turned out well.
    My son has Crohn's disease. He takes immunosuppressants that causes too many problem to mention. I know what it's like to worry.

    That's amazing! What a strong boy. My friend's brother has CF and it's a constant battle with him, he has to sleep hooked up to a machine and is constantly coughing. He's got a beautiful girlfriend who loves him dearly and he'll be 25 this year.

    Happy birthday to your boy, mama. :) I'm sure God has great things planned for him!
