That is a wonderful story!! Thank you for sharing it with us. Your Kevin reminds me of my stepson, Nicholas. Nick has Cystic Fibrosis. He is 8 years old an he is fairly small....but he is mighty!! He has physio and pep therapy each day. He cannot eat anything other than fruit without taking digestive enzymes with it. But this child is absolutely amazing! He plays soccer...it is houseleague right now but is being looked at for a rep team. He is incredible. He just does not let the CF stop him. I remember one day not long ago he asked why god gave him this disease..(his actual words!) I think we made him realize that we beleive that he has CF to show other kids that they do not need to let the disease stop them from doing what they love...and that other parents can learn from his that they need to let their kids do the things thaat they love to do. I told him that he could say...I can't!!- but instead he says I will!..and he does and I admire him for it. He is such an inspiration!!!
