Keeping Kids Healthy: Cystic Fibrosis: A Day in the Life

Emmy Award Winner!!

For a young person living with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), each day is a struggle just to breathe. The lungs are clogged with thick mucus, requiring constant medication and intrusive therapies - even someone to pound on the back to beat the congestion out. There is no cure; and without a lung transplant, the disease can become a death sentence. This is the day-to-day struggle faced by parents and their children with CF. Join our host, Dr. Winnie King, as we follow one young woman's story through her own eyes. Then meet a young man whose life was saved by having a lung transplant, and learn why some CF patients choose not to take this option, despite the hope it offers.
