An Incredible Look at a Day in the Life of Boomer's Son Gunnar Esiason as he Battles Cystic Fibrosis

Gunnar Esiason, Boomer Esiason's son, is a 21-year old senior at Boston College. In this clip, Gunnar talks about the daily use of a feeding tube as part of his Cystic Fibrosis treatment. While Gunnar continues to remain compliant and use the feeding tube, among other treatments, he has been living independently and has been enjoying college life at Boston College for the past three years.

Gunnar made the decision to use the feeding tube during his sophomore year in college shortly after enduring a serious lung infection and losing a lot of weight.

The surgical process of inserting the tube culminated with the placement of a "button", an external port allowing Gunnar to receive the nutrients he needs in liquid form.
