Cystic Fibrosis

Once upon a time there was a little boy and his mother; he was always having health problems. So his mommy being the good mommy she is took him to a doctor....
    Doctor: What are you feeling?
    Kid: I dont know really icky and stuff.
    Mommy: Well he has had a lot of wheezing and shortness of breath.
    Doctor: Ok I will examine and I will find out what is making you feel so icky.
A few minutes pass and the doctor has done some test. One of the test that he did was the sweat test. (The sweat test measures concentration of salt in sweat.) A few mintues later he returns.
     Doctor: I have come back with the results. (which is very unusual because it usually takes the results   some time.)
     Mommy:What is it doctor? What does my son have?
     Doctor:Your son has mucus lining the airways of his lungs. The ions aren't doing there job of bringing water to that part so this is making your son sick. Its called cystic fibrosis.
     Mommy: Is that bad or good? Is my son going to die? Is it curable?
     Doctor: Unfortuallty there is no cure for it but there is treatments you can performe to help him out.
     Mommy: Tell me what I can do!
     Doctor: Well there is antibiotics which prevent lung infections, Mucus thining drugs they reduce stickyness of mucus and make it easier to cough up. These are only two ways to treat it.
     Mommy: Ok doctor.
     Doctor: Im going to prescribe the antibiotics.
     Mommy: Ok doctor.
The doctor prescribed the antibiotics and the mommy was happy because her son is feeling better.
