June Update

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

Hello...it's been a while. Life has been busy. I'm sure you can all relate! Good things have been happening these past few months. I've felt pretty good despite the heat and allergies. Recently I received some good medical news...
 
"Vertex Pharmaceuticals announced positive final results from a Phase 2 combination study of Kalydeco and a potential cystic fibrosis drug called VX-809.

Cystic fibrosis patients with two copies of the most common mutation, Delta F508 (that's what Jen has), showed significant improvements in lung function while taking the combination therapy.

Based on this data, Vertex plans to begin a pivotal study of the combination treatment in those with two copies of Delta F508 in early 2013."
 
That's very exciting for me and hundreds of others. Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers. I promise you it is making a difference

On a side note: If you are looking for a pick me up, look for God in the details of your life and then you will be satisfied. I've had some amazing circumstances happen over the last 3 months that only God could have conducted. I hope you can look back and say the same. One of the things my church family believes is to simply "pray and obey".  If you have a personal relationship with Jesus you will see results! Don't diss it until you've given it a try. : )
