Kiera can breathe easy thanks to breakthrough treatment

Drug Orkambi offers relief for young cystic fibrosis sufferer who now enjoys gymnastics and dance classes 

PORTLAOISE-BASED mother of two Louise Lynam had never heard of cystic fibrosis (CF) before doctors at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, did the heel prick test to determine whether her baby had it.

"I was in Crumlin with Kiera for 12 nights, so I had the time to research CF. I was devastated when the test results returned positive,” Louise says.
