John is an awesome brother and friend, and a true star both on the soccer field and hockey rink. John was failing to thrive before a visit to Janeway Children’s Hospital revealed he had cystic fibrosis (CF). He began digestive enzyme treatment and dramatically improved overnight.
John has regular tests and appointments to monitor his lungs and has daily preventative physiotherapy. He also receives regular ultrasound testing thanks to new imaging technology at the hospital, helping John’s team assess the status of his disease, detect complications early, and guide therapeutic interventions, contributing to improved quality of life.
Through incredibly valuable tools in the management and care of CF patients, John’s life as a super-star athlete and advocate for CF patients is back on track.
