- National Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Committee: Our Family Story
- Six years ago, our son, Phillip, arrived in this world, as seemingly "perfect" as any baby could be. We were elated to have him, as was his big brother, Alex, then 5 years old. Phillip had some difficulty nursing, but this was not worrisome until he was still not eating after 24 hours and began spitting up bile. X-rays showed an intestinal blockage.
At 36 hours old, instead of coming home to his newly decorated nursery, Phillip was undergoing surgery to clear the blockage and explore the damage. . . . As soon as the surgeon discovered the blockage, consisting of thick, tar-like mucus (called meconium ileus), he suspected Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Even before the DNA test results were back from the lab, Phillip was being treated for CF and was out of the hospital in just 2 weeks.
