Creative Critters by Maria Espino

I was born in Caracas, Venezuela although most (if not all) my family comes from Panama. I came to the United States, born a citizen through my parents who had been naturalized before the time of my birth, when I was 6 years old.

When my mother was 3 months pregnant with me, my brother was FINALLY diagnosed with a genetic condition called Cystic Fibrosis (CF). At the time, we treated it mostly with inhaled medication and did not really know all the complications that would arise from it. But because my mother was pregnant with me, she then knew to test me as well. At birth I was given a sweat test and tested positive as well for CF. 

This channel will chronicle my journey through loss, illness, and coping with it all.
