Ana - Atlas of Caregiving

Ana’s Household

Ana is a retired medical professional and mother of two. She has lived in the Bay Area for over 30 years. She splits her time between two homes: one where she lives with her current partner, Arienne, and the other that is much closer to her two boys, Albert and Alex. Both boys also live with their other mother, Bonnie, with whom Ana splits custody.

Ana has had cystic fibrosis (CF) since birth. Relatively mild symptoms allowed her to have a long medical career. She retired when worsening symptoms made that impossible. Now, she manages her condition by spending many hours in home-treatment, which primarily involves taking medications with a nebulizer, therapies that loosen the mucous that collects in her lungs, and staying as fit as possible.
