Nathan: sweetest little boy with cystic fibrosis

[booboosbaba]

thanks for the prayers and sweet thoughts, and most of all for sharing his video and web site with others.

[booboosbaba]

thank you fo r all the sweet comments. Nathan is now 6 and last year was pretty rough for him.He got several infections and then had a bowel blockage~which was lovely~poor thing. He had C-diff again at the same time at all that was happening.Then he had colonocopyt and surgry then another surgery 2 weeks later~but since that has all passed, it seems do be going along pretty well. Take each day as it comes. God bless you all deeply!Thanks for sharing his video with others, it helps so much.

[booboosbaba]

God bless you guys...thank you for sharing Nathan's Story and his video with others. He also has a FB page called " CARD DRIVE FOR NATHAN CONTRERAS" If anyone ever wants to just send him a little hug through the mail. xo

[booboosbaba]

I found a son called Angel's Wings~ it's a sweet one. It doesn't fit as perfectly as He's My Son, but it's still very beautiufl ~just like our little sweetpea. So I hope you like it. It cuts out about 2 minutes 'til te end, so even though it's silent I hope you'll still watch. God bless you

[booboosbaba]

Thank you for anyone who sees this video about our little guy Nathan. He's now 5 & half, still full of beans as ever and one of the biggest miracles in our lives. I am trying to get another video made with music we can use on here.

I have cystic fibrosis and I just got a lung transplant on the 28th of Dec. I'm so happy people donate organs. Everyone should be an organ donor

[Jallulah]

shakeitdestiny: HI so how are you??

everything going well, on the road to recovery, I hope!!

I am an organ donor!! I think it is important to help as many people as much as you can , as long as you can!!

I am Nathan's Aunt. He just turned 5 this week!!

[4markie]

My sister has Cystic Fibrosis.

[Jallulah]

4markie: hi, how are you? On my nephew Nathan's site you mentioned your sister has CF. How is she doing??

[4markie]

@Jallulah She's doing great. She's very healthy for someone who has CF. She was diagnosed with it when she was about 6 years old. It's a miracle that she lived.

Thanks for the concern :)

[Jallulah]

hi! bummer they made u erase the song "Can You hear me?"...the words r powerful...especially the ending "he's just not anyone, he's MY SON"Thank God, Nathan is 4 years old now!!He's been thru so much! Funny, in these baby pictures he looks fat! Hes pretty thin & still very handsome - a real cute kid!! He is SO SMART & enjoys telling jokes, & singing, too.He got 2 sing "Take me out to the Ballgame" @ a Spring Training game n Tucson! "woot,woot, woot 4 the Wildcats.." He has been thru so much! J

[booboosbaba]

@Jallulah Hi Sis~ I love you. Thank you for always supporting me, loving me and I know you love your nephews Nathan and Thomas so much. They know it too! xoxox I found this song, it won't fit as well as the previous one, but at least it's still sweet. There's a few minutes at the end where it's just silent, but hopefully people will will see it. I love you always and you are my best friend ever and I adore you always. Hugs, snuggles & as ever~ put your nose on the screen! ha.

[amydiamondfan1212]

oh, isint he the cutest thing!! i will dfinatly support and check out the site.

[1moe7]

what a cute lil guy! how sweet! I have CF too.

[Jallulah]

1moe7: I see you saw Nathan's site. You said you also have CF. How are you doing?

[1moe7]

Meh, I'm doing okay. Three months so far I haven't been in the hospital, haha. I'm hangin' in there.

[booboosbaba]

@1moe7 Hi~ thanks for the comment on his video~ I wanted to know how you are doing...any hospitalizations or infections recently? How are you doing? Let me know. God bless you.

[1moe7]

@booboosbaba Pretty good. Long time no talk. And I just got out of the hospital before my birthday a month ago.

[booboosbaba]

@1moe7 Oh~ Happy Belated Birthday. How old are you? Sorry to heart you were in the hsoptial again. What were you admitted for~ or was it a tune-up type thing? Nathan has sinus surgery last week. He's 6 now...has a Make A Wish trip coming up.

[1moe7]

@booboosbaba 16 now. and it was just a tune-up. :]

[Sandyrhh]

Wow it is hard for the parents to raise a CF child but can you imagine the child that has to go through all that they do. Tank you LORD for being who you are and being there for us all in this battle we have to face.

[shakeitdestiny]

It is sad when people die. But, I look at it totally different when people die with CF. I love my life, love being here with family and friends who care so much. but, death isn't such a bad thing for CFers. We are FREE. We are in heaven. without oxygen. breathing like we never could before. When I hear about another one of my friends passing away with CF I just know they are in a better place and I'm happy they don't have to suffer anymore. :-) maybe it will help to see it this way.

[solunicegirl]

send my love to Nathan. love the song too, brought tear to my eyes. thank God for wonderful family like you that bring hope to other.

love

Thanks you so much. Please check out Nathan's site if you have a minute an dplease share it if you can.God bless you!

[Jallulah]

Hi,I'm the Auntie Jill!Nathan is 3 now,smart as can be!very funny.A tiny bit ornery,but he's just now becoming like that.Like he cut his "tubie" flip cap w/his playsissors last week!(hes fed thru a Tube 2 his stomach)Lesli & Pat were right there,but he did it.They'll have to have it replaced.Its very painful to replace!(They don't anestize him for some dumb rason,say it is harmful.So he has to be held down by several people)He is really sick!Please pray 4 him!My sister is always stressed out!

[shakeitdestiny]

They won't anestize me for some reason either. They don't think we will be able to come out of it. expecially if their is ashma also. but, I have a feeding tube also, never had it changed, just kept the actual long tube. They told me it is not painful though. however how would they know. they people that put them in have never had one.

I will pray for Nathan!

[Lesliebbw2008]

I have a Nephew (20 yrs old) & Niece (10 yrs old) that have CF. I have watched both of them suffer some much, I pray to god every day of my life that they find a cure for CF. It breaks my heart into a million pieces to watch any baby suffer and this disease is horriable.

[9jan1978]

just found my husband is a carrier for CF.We have two healthy children,pregnant with 3rd.SomeAustraliuan band wrote a song about CF but they call it 65 ROSES.This is a beautifull clip.

[ROBBO1978OVBLYTH]

Wolverines, 65 roses i have it in my playlist.

[Jallulah]

Yes,in the CF literature,I think a girl had been diagnosed with CF,and overheard her mother telling somebody,and could tell she was really upset!! Later the girl told someone her mommy said she ad "sixtyfiveroses"

God Bless You,friend,and your baby. You probably have already checked, but my sister(Nathan in the Video's mom is my sister!)said BOTH families had this "dormant gene" as neither one of our families have any person w/ CF in them!! keep in touch,there is a whole network of CF families.

[cfmother]

Your video has touched my heart & I'm crying right now. My 10 month old son has CF as well. Our beautiful boys are miracles & a true blessing from God. I pray that a cure is found soon.

[shakeitdestiny]

i seen something about a cure but it could only be used in small children!!.

check with Iowa city hospitals and clinics research! they haven't used it yet but, are very close and are using some good part of a harmful virus. Seen it on the news.

[Jallulah]

@shakeitdestiny - well at least it is a start!! My sister told me about it. She was very happy for those it can help.

[silvadodge86]

i am 21 and have cystic fibrosis, i had a double lung transplant when i was 18 and was listed when i was 15...i have lost 11 of the closest friends ill ever make to this horrible disease....it suks. and this video has moved me

[Jallulah]

hey,bud! silvadodge86 You keep on keeping on,friend! Yes,I hear you. But God promises that one day He will PERSONALLY wipe every tear from our eyes!Revelation & He'll take away all the pain you have suffered on this earth! Revelation 21:3-4 My sister keeps emailing me telling me to pray for all these people,about the families...she gets torn up when someone dies! She has benefits for Nathan,and for other people too. I suppose your medical bills are high,too. Keep in touch,friend!

[shanson777]

I am a volunteer with the American lung Association. I really liked your video and hope that you will consider posting it on our video sharing website for lung health at thelungchallenge dot com. We are hoping to spread awareness about lung disease and we think your work can help.

[tshnk478]

One of the most powerful videos I have ever seen. Tears are running down my face and I am filled with so much heartache for you. It is just not fair, children should not have to go through this! I too have a 2 year old little boy with CF and he is the light of my life. His health has been wonderful so far but I fear the future. I am so sorry you have had to deal with so much already. I will pray for your beautiful Nathan everyday.

[Blahkishma]

I'm 13 and I have CF and Liver Cirrhosis and I was diagnosed at 1 year old. Great comment shakeitdestiny!

[shakeitdestiny]

wow this song really brings tears to my eyes! I am 28 with CF and I dream of doing so much but, my health stops me! but, I have dreams of running. It is amazing. I wonder if we can run in heaven without being out of breath and coughing? I live day for day and your right we need a lot of love from family and friends. That's really all we want is for everyone to show they care! I've noticed as I am getting a lot sicker I am tending to be distant from everyone!

[springmausi]

Keep on struggling! :) Friends will help you to fight against CF, you will be more happier! :) How do you do now? Nice greeting from Austria, Silke :)

[melodyram]

Please do not give up your dreams, and remember your loved ones are part of those dreams, they want to help you, all you have to do is reach out and someone will grab ahold of your hand and help.

[Jallulah]

shakeitdestiny:hi,I saw your message on my Nephew Nathans website. How are you doing,friend?

[shakeitdestiny]

honestly not so well. This year has been my worst year. I know it is close to my time to move on to heaven! it's just so hard when the people I know here will feel like I'm giving up. It's not that at all. I just have no more oxygen to breathe. It's hard. I'm still honered that my mother gave me the chance at life knowing I was going to be born with CF. I had the chance to meet such wonderful and caring people..Sending my love to Nathan

[mustangfan6918]
