These words are something we will our CF'ers to do and hope that they do it with ease. It's so simple to say but something that they struggle with daily.
It's also something that many take for granted, me included. To be able to take a big deep breath and suck in all that air and fill my lungs is what Cadel strives for daily. To experience how CFers fight for breath it is suggested to pinch your nose closed and breath through a straw for 60 seconds. It's tough but at least you can stop doing that and just breath "normally".
We are so grateful that Cadel's condition has improved in the last 12 months. His breathing rate and work of breathing has decreased and he has been oxygen free for a long time now. It's testament to his strength of character, his will to never give up and of course to the fantastic CF team that always look for new treatment options for Cadel.
Here's to plenty more good years, great health and being able to just breathe.
