Connecting Families

The Kids

I thought it would be a neat idea for everyone to get to know the kids and their stories. So here is our story

My husband and I have twin girls Faith and Kaylee who are 4 months old. My daughter Faith was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was 1 month old through the Newborn Screening. Her sister is a carrier, but does not have CF.At the time we did not know what CF was or what it meant for our daughter. However, through research and the Clinic at ACH we have learned a ton of information. When she was first diagnosed we were really sad, but quickly moved passed that. We have decided to have a positive approach and provide the best life for our daughter possible. We are getting involved as much as we can in hopes that with others we will find a cure.
