2 Years and Still Sympton Free!

I cannot believe it has been two years since our journey with CF began.  We had no clue what we were facing, and still don't.  But, Ashton had her quaterly check up just a couple of weeks before her birthday, and she is as perfectly ok now as she has always been.  The doctors continue to be amazed!  The one thing that has changed in my eyes is my thought that if they had not tested her at birth we still would not know.  I cannot honestly say that I think that she would still not have any symptoms if we were not treating her.  The reason is, I do notice an increased cough when she misses a vest treatment for whatever reason.  This happens very, very rarely, but unfortunatley, it does happen.  It could be something that would happen reguardless, we all cough, right?  But it does seem to increase if there is a missed treatment.  All of that to say, PRAISE GOD that they caught it at birth, and we have been treating from almost day one (since she was 5 weeks old!).  Our God is a awesome God, truly!  Thank you all for your love, support, and prayers for the first two years of this journey, and we beg that you continue it with us:)
