Bethany is now 10 and in the 5th grade. Bethany is like any other young girl her age. She can run, play on the playground, ride her 4-wheeler, sled ride in the winter months, bowl, play softball. She enjoys fighting with her siblings. To look at her, you'd say she's in great health!

She must take a handful of pancreatic enzymes with everything she eats in order to digest her food and grow properly. Thankfully, God has placed it on her heart to be diligent with her treatments and she does very well in managing her condition. Bethany is very active and enjoys playing on her playground that "Make-A-Wish" Foundation built for her 4 years ago. Bethany is also very interested in arts and crafts. She has plenty of time to make beautiful pictures while doing her breathing and vest treatments every day.
