This week, we gained important new ground in our work to advance the development of new cystic fibrosis treatments. VX-809, a potential CF drug developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals, showed encouraging results in a preliminary Phase 2a clinical trial.
VX-809 is one of the first investigational drugs aimed at treating the underlying causes of CF.The oral therapy was tested in patient volunteers who have the most common cystic fibrosis mutation, Delta F508.Results from the trial showed VX-809 was well-tolerated and, in a subset of CF patients, reduced sweat chloride levels — a key indicator of CF.
VX-809 is the direct result of one of the Foundation’s largest investments in drug development. This gives us confidence that our innovative approach to science leads to progress.
We ALL know money buys science and science buys HOPE!!!!
Thanks Somer for his great info!!

PINK..OH MY!!
Not much has been going on here in my world! Although it has warmed up enough to wash my car.. Yea it look brand new again.. That's what I don't like about living in the snow, the road salt is so hard on cars.. But that's why we have car washes I guess..
So I have decided to change up my look a bit.. Yup I went back to my blonde.. Very blonde I must say.. But I love it!! I had many friends tell me that it would look pretty sweet if I added a couple of streaks of wild color.. Well I took their advise and put in Pink and Blue.. LOL.. When my CF benefit rolls around I think I'm going to put in purple and green!! Purple for CF and green for transplant!! What ya think?? To night I am going to go down to SL and see some friends that I have not seen in a long time! We are all going to the moon.. They are putting on a fundraiser for the mom of the owner of the bar.. This last Christmas she had to get emergency surgery.. She is doing fine now.. Thank goodness!!
I have almost finished the 2nd season of Dexter!! Yes I know I'm kinda behind times.. LOL If you like crime shows I highly recommend watching Dexter.. I wont ruin it in case you have not seen it before and want to watch it.. But dang I am ADDICTED!!
What do you think??
I have decided to change up Ziggy's life a little.. LOL I gave him a mo-hawk.. he he he just like his momma.. He is so damn cute.. I just love my kids!! He pushed the covers and blankets on my bed to make his own bed in my bed.. Good thing I always give him baths!!!
