what staying healthy looks like

by Caleb Clemons February 26th, 2026

Staying healthy is a lot of work.

For Sofia, health is not automatic. It takes daily effort.

She also completes airway clearance therapies. These treatments help loosen the thick mucus that builds up in her lungs, which is one of the main challenges of cystic fibrosis. Without consistent therapy, infections can develop quickly.

Nutrition is another major part of her care. Sofia receives nutritional support through tube feeds to help her body grow and maintain strength. Because cystic fibrosis affects digestion, her body does not absorb nutrients the same way most children’s bodies do.

This is her normal.

While other children may wake up and start their day, Sofia begins hers with treatments that help her breathe, grow, and stay strong.
