It’s just a bit shit.

I’m normally pretty positive about Arlo’s CF but today I’m angry at it. It can f***ing do one!


I’m worried. I feel powerless. Arlo has been coughing until he is sick. Admission for IVs is on the cards. And I’m not sure I can go another night listening to Arlo coughing over the baby monitor. And I just wish there was more I could do for him and that I could take all of it away from him.


Arlo is so incredible - still smiling and wanting to play - complying with the new medication and new treatments without a fuss.


And he’ll always have me smiling with him - giving him every ounce of positive energy I have. Making every day fun and finding laughter no matter what! Cause I’m a true believer that the energy I bring is one of the most important parts of Arlo’s fight - with this particularly aggressive cough and with his CF in general.


But now he’s gone to bed (albeit it coughing away rather than sleeping), I just feel like it’s taking its toll on us all this week. So this is me saying FU CF. 🙁

Arlo’s Army: We Won’t Stop Until CF Does

There’s no cure for CF yet. Even with groundbreaking new treatments, daily life for people with CF remains a heavy burden and many aren't eligible for these new drugs. That's why we're raising money. To fund cutting-edge research. To support families like ours. To keep pushing until CF stands for Cured Forever.

CF affects over 11,000 people in the UK — and more than 100,000 globally. It impacts the lungs, pancreas, and other organs, turning mucus thick and sticky, and making everyday life a battle for breath.

 

The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is leading the charge to change this. They fund game-changing science, support families, and fight for better treatments, care, and — one day — a cure.


Join Arlo’s Army today.

 

Stand with us. Donate. Share. Fight for a future where no child has to grow up fighting CF.
