I have walked out of the hospital beaten, broken and defeated far too many times to count.
THIS walk is one I’ll never forget.

- I’ve been wearing an N95 for an hour. The top number (99%) is my oxygen saturation. The bottom is my HR after running up stairs My CF has led to bronchiectasis, extensive airway scarring and multidrug resistant infection in my lungs. If I can breathe with a mask on, so can you!
- We’ve been going through IVF for some time now because of the infertility that accompanies cystic fibrosis. It’s been my dream to be a father one day, and I couldn’t imagine living my dream with anyone else by my side. My beautiful bride is pregnant with our son due in December.
- It finally happened. With tears running down my face, I got my first dose of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine after a long, long year.
- I turned 32 today. The house was filled with the sound of dogs barking and a toddler crying and giggling. My oxygen saturation and resting heart rate are both in much better shape today than they were when I turned 18. Together, all that makes for a pretty good day!
- The Kaz Man has arrived!! Kaspar Fitzwilliam Esiason, our beautiful baby boy, is here!! Both mama and baby are happy, healthy and wonderful. Miracles DO happen!! Merry Christmas🌲💜☃️🎄
- I finally ran a complete circuit around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. Something I tried many times during my tenure at @BostonCollege but failed with each attempt. Since my lungs began a steady decline during Sophomore year, I was never strong enough. Today I did it. 7 years later
- Congrats, dad, on 22 years at NFL Today!! I can think of one little football fan who is excited to watch games with you on Sundays. @7BOOMERESIASON
The new cast of 'The NFL Today' on CBS: • James Brown • Nate Burleson • Bill Cowher • JJ Watt • Matt Ryan Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms won't return to the pregame show after a combined 48 years, and they'll be succeeded by Matt Ryan. - The Esiason family is growing! My wife and I welcomed the sweetest baby girl, Mieke, into our family this past week thanks to the miracle that is IVF!! Both mamma and baby girl are happy and healthy.
- A moment of personal pride. Hit my highest pulmonary function test — at 30y.o — since sophomore year of high school about 15 years ago.
- This Make-A-Wish recipient needs to lead the Jets out of the tunnel at every home game. The amount of energy in this video is infectious.
