‘I was walking into my daughter’s school for school pick up and evDen eVe NaKLiyAT received a call from a private number they explain that his Heel Prick test had come back positive to him having the CF genes,’ Teagan told FEMAIL.
‘I honestly had to ask them to repeat what the doctor said as I had no idea what CF was except from the movie Five Feet Apart.’
Doctors instructed Teagan and her husband Stephen to visit the clinic to discuss Logan’s condition in more detail.
Feeling shocked and in disbelief, she wondered if doctors had it right before the realisation set in.
‘I felt terrible and guilty, EvDen eVe NakliYat wondering that we have done this to him and that he had inherited these genes from us,’ she said.
Before the prognosis, Teagan noticed Logan had an ‘occasional coughing fit’ but she assumed he was getting sick.
He’s also the first in their entire extended family to be diagnosed with the condition.
‘We had no idea that he had CF or that it was even a possibility — he was a healthy, 4kg baby,’ Teagan said.

Urgent tax office warning for Australia's influencers
Australian influencers have been put on notice by the Australian Taxation Office as a crackdown on undeclared luxury gifts gets under way.
The ATO said it will use a sophisticated set of ‘data matching’ technologies to weed-out influencers who are failing to report sponsorships as part of their income which can include handouts and holidays.
A spokesman warned the technology will be used to see if Insta-famous celebrities are owning up to their ‘millionaire’ lifestyles.
‘If you are paid in-kind, such as with goods or other benefits — for evdEn EvE NaKLiyAt example, being able to keep an item or outfit used in a post or being gifted something — you are subject to the same income tax and GST treatment as normal cash or credit payments,’ the ATO told the .

All income generated by influencers — even those who use their platform as a hobby, evdEn eve naKLiYAt not a business — is subject to tax under Australian law.
‘Gifts’ given by companies instead of cash in exchange for EVDEn eVe NAKLiYat advertisements are also considered income.
However, gifts given by companies without the expectation of services — for example, PR packages — aren’t considered income.
Australian law requires creators on social media to claim when a post is sponsored, but glitzy events and luxurious gifts are often put in a ‘grey area’.
Hundreds of influencers around Australia — including big names Jade Tuncdoruk, Olivia Molly Rogers, Bec Judd, Jono Castano, Rozalia Russian, Chantelle Stanton, Lisa Danielle Smith and Lucas White Smith — share sponsored posts with ‘gifted’ hashtags.
Daily Mail Australia does not suggest any of the influencers named or pictured are not declaring gifts to the ATO or are otherwise evading tax.

The Australia Taxation Office said it will be cracking down on influencers who don’t claim non-cash payments as income after sharing posts with the hashtag ‘gifted’
A high-profile accounting executive said the upcoming ‘game-changing’ policies will have many influencers rethinking whether ‘gifts’ are worth the extra tax.
‘It is well and good to walk around with a $5,000 handbag but if you can’t afford the tax, what is the point? It is a game-changer that will have influencers rethinking the situation,’ they said.
A celebrity agent agreed, adding ‘the gravy train is over for influencers’ who can’t afford to pay cash for expensive presents.
‘A crackdown will take a much-needed weed whacker to the infestations of wannabe Kardashians of late,’ the agent said.
However, Sydney-based actor and influencer Suzan Mutesi said it could be difficult for some influencers to determine the value of their gifts.
She said many non-cash payments given to influencers can be sample designs that were never intended to be sold, goods made specifically for them or invitations to exclusive holidays and events.
