BiographyChloe was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 2 weeks old, it was a complete shock, we didn't know anything about CF.
CF is a build up of sticky mucus in the lungs and digestive system, it also effects other main organs, Chloe is on daily medication and has physio therapy twice a day unless she is unwell.
Up to date Chloe has been quite well - she has grown a few bugs and has been on anitibiotics to try and clear these up, so far successful. CF is genetic so mom & dad have to be carriers (didn't know we were) for the genes to be passed on, 1:4 Chance a child will be born with CF. Chloe’s big sister is also a carrier. We have monthly visits to the hospital and Chloe’s progress is on the right track.
