CF Diagnosis

When my sister was 9, she was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. I was 10 or 11 and had absolutely no idea what it was. All i knew is that is wasn't good because both my parents were crying and just held her. And since then my whole world has changed. Now my little sister is stuck taking a ton of pills everyday, she has to do breathing treatments and her vest for an hour everyday and she has to eat all day long. I didn't understand why she was always so little and sick when we were younger; until the doctors started giving her growth hormones and muscle simulations so that she would get stronger. Now I understand that her immune system is weak and that is why my family does all we can to keep her healthy. In school she has to wear gloves and a mask all day and use germ-ex and Clorox wipes to kill germs on all surfaces and she is taken out of school during flu season to be home schooled so that other students don't get her sick. I wish she hadn't been diagnosed with CF, but the more I think about it the CF has only made her a stronger person. She is always so happy and smiling. Her illness hasn't weakened her it has made her who she is today...she is my sister, my best friend, and my guardian angel.  And I don't know what I would do without her.
