Introduction	Sid and I married June 8, 2002. We decided to start a family and had our first son, Logan, in February of 2004. Shortly after in April 2006, our second son Liam was born. Wanting a girl, we knew we would have another child. We got pregnant sooner than we wanted, but were thrilled to learn we were having a girl! Lainey was born in May 2008. Our family was perfect with 3 healthy children ~ or so we thought. Lainey did not have a bowel movement within the first 48 hours of life. Through x-rays the doctors found what they thought to be a blocked colon. She was taken to the NICU and transported to Egleston a few days later. She had surgery at 5 days old. Her bowels were blocked and it was suspected she had Cystic Fibrosis. After several weeks we learned that in fact Lainey does have Cystic Fibrosis. Through this disease, we have learned and grown a lot as parents. We are ready to share everything we learn to help inform others about Cystic Fibrosis. To learn more, visit www.cff.org.
