brings tears to my eyes

Reagan is the best little girl! I mean it! Whenever I take the time to sit and think about all that she has gone through in her 2 1/2 years, it makes me cry. She has dealt with more in her life than I have with mine, and that just doesn't seem right. But the amazing part is how wonderful she is through it all. She is so trusting and understanding. She never gets mad that Kennedy doesn't have to do breathing treatments like she does, or take all the medicines she does, or do all the tests she does. She just does it all happily.

A couple weeks ago she had another Lung Function Test. She had to drink some nasty stuff that knocked her out, and then they hook her up to this.


The test took about an hour and a half, and for part of it she has to be enclosed in the glass box you see at the bottom right side of this picture.

Then after the test they force her to wake up enough to swallow, then she can go home. But the medicine took the whole night to wear off, she had to crawl everywhere when she eventually woke up because she was so tipsy.

So why am I showing you these? To ask you to please donate to the CF Foundation. We have a week left to raise money and have not reached our goal yet. Please donate here, even a few dollars can make a difference. We went to a dinner tonight to learn about the advances in CF care. One speaker told us that it costs approximately $900 million to take a drug through research to mass production. They have a drug in trial phases that could have a huge impact on Reagan's life. I am so proud of my little girl, and I just want her to have the best life she can.
