Paige is a very special young girl who can most often be found spending time with her friends and watching her favorite show, Hannah Montana. Paige must endure daily breathing treatments and must also take a number of medications. This courageous young girl is a huge fan of Miley Cyrus, the teen superstar who plays Hannah Montana on television. Paige would love nothing more than to meet her idol in person. Paige also enjoys practicing gymnastics and playing games on the computer. She’s crazy about the color pink and says her favorite subject in school is math. Paige has cystic fibrosis. C. F. is a chronic lung disease that causes the lungs to be covered with sticky mucus. It can be very serious and often leads to life-threatening lung infections. In addition, the disease interferes with food absorption.
: “I just wanted to show you how much Page has grown this year! She is excited to be a part of the Kids Wish Network. She is going, with her family, to see Hannah Montana in March.” |

| Hi! I’m Paige Rogers. I’m eleven years old and I have Cystic Fibrosis (CF). I really hate having CF, only because I have to do breathing treatments and chest physical therapy. Every time I eat I have to take four pills called enzymes. Sometimes I love having CF because I can eat anything I want and not get fat. I have to eat a lot so I don’t lose weight, or my doctor will get mad at me! My mom and dad go out and buy me ice cream, cherries, pecans, cool whip and hot fudge so I can make a sundae. I also have to butter my foods with like a pound of butter so I can gain weight. I only weight eighty-five pounds.
I can’t spend the night with anyone because I have to do four breathing treatments a day. I also do my chest physical therapy twice a day. But if I’m sick I do both every three hours.
I just recently got a new breathing machine. It was sixty-eight dollars. It’s as long as my hand. My old one was big and made a lot of noise. I would have to turn up my television really loud. But my new one doesn’t make any noise. I really like it. |

| I have been in the hospital about six times, and Home Heath Care four times. I like Home Health Care better, because I can at least be at home and play. When I am on Home Health Care my mom and dad run my IV’s. They take turns doing them, because it is every six hours around the clock. The nurse only comes once every two days to check on me.
My Aunt Halie is trying to raise money to help find a cure for all Cystic Fibrosis people. This money helps pay for the clinical trials on new drugs. Each donation she gets helps us get that much closer to a cure. I want to thank everyone that is trying to help me and other Cystic Fibrosis people breath easier.
Your Cystic Fibrosis friend,
Paige Nicole Rogers |
