PARENTS
Jasara Hall - age 34 Jasara is a mother to a young fibro. She gives a very colorful story of when her son was diagnosed. She shares with us how it felt to hear the diagnosis, what she wishes she heard on that day from the doctors, and some advice for parents with a CFer.
Jessica Pettus - In this interview, Jessica describes what it was like finding out her son was in limbo CF status. Crew is her son, and wasn’t diagnosed until a few months after his birth. Crew passed the “golden rule” test in the CF community and that is the sweat test. He was diagnosed with CF after a genetic blood test. His mutations put him in a CF limbo status. Both of Crew’s mutations were not the well known mutations that many of us CFers have. So the doctors were saying Crew has CRMS. CRMS is basically having a borderline sweat test with one or more CF gene mutations. Read the interview to find out more about CRMS and some great advice for all parents to CFers.
SPOUSES
Maria - age 29 Spouse to ME. Maria displays what it's like being a CF Army wife as I call it. She also sheds some light on our fertility battles and what it's like being married to me.
