Help me PRINCETON!

Princeton Walk:

It's official, My hometown will be hosting it's first GreatStrides walk ( Walk for Cystic Fibrosis)!!! I've done 6 walks: 3 in Peoria, IL, 2 in Champaign, IL, and 1 in Hollowayville, IL in the past couple years.

However on
 JUNE 28, 2014!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited to have Princeton have a Walk! My hometown has always been supportive and helped encourage me. My teachers understood when I missed classes, my friends understood when I did my nebulizers while hanging out,, and my family has always been there for me!

What everyone needs to know about the walk:

THIS IS A TRIAL WALK. If we have a good enough turn out at the Walk, it will become a permanent walk site! Which I would love very VERY MUCH!! Please help me make this a reality!

Since this is the FIRST WALK! Before it can become a Walk Site with its own online registration and fundraising pages, we have show them we can bring enough people to the walk!

The Foundation Said:  For this year's Walk will register under TEAM PRINCETON at the Tuscola, IL Walk Site. City of Princeton's Walk Site! Click Here!  (make sure to "join a team"- search for Princeton and scroll down to join the team) Facebook, call or email me if you have questions!

 This allows me to keep tab on the number of people signed up, while allowing everyone who signs up to have an online fundraising website. Registering early, helps me to see about how many people are attending. (helps with food, T-Shirts Counts, etc). So PLEASE consider registering early.  You do not need to walk at the Tuscola Site, just Princetons.

We are justing using their site to sign up for online purposes!

So don't forget sign up UNDER TEAM PRINCETON at the TUSCOLA walk. If you need help, just ask. I can sign you up and help you with it!

Here is a picture of my Team Last year! Thank you to everyone who has ever walked with me and I hope to see you all next year in PRINCETON!

SIGN UP OR DONATE BY CLICKING ON THIS LINK: City of Princeton Walk Teams Registration Page! (make sure to "join a team"- TEAM PRINCETON)




Let's make this walk site a permanent location and have an amazing turn out.Help me spread word. :-)

Big Week...

Lots going on medically: This week has been a big week! For example, did you know: this weekend is "National Walk Weekend" and there are over 150 Cystic Fibrosis (Great Strides) events (walks) taking place across the country just during this weekend! How awesome! Make sure not miss out on Princeton's Walk today as part of my team (Team CF2) here !  But wait there's more exciting news!... The FDA advisory board recommended approval of Orkambi (a drug that targets an underlying defect for mutations DDF508). It was named Orkambi just recently, it is a combo drug of Lumacafter & ivacaftor. Side note: Ivacaftor is also know as Kalydeco (which was another drug that targets the faulty gene & its protein product, CFTR. This was for people with the mutation G551D ). Kalydeco & Orkambi are two drugs to actually target the defect, which means we are heading in the right direction. Side note: this is not a cure, actually the 2 drugs haven shown to help les

Inspector Gadget Parts. Malfunction.

I tend to joke I'm an Xmen (since I have mutated DNA) and that my weird medical devices are my inspector gadget parts. Go-go-gadget automatic IV Line. Convenient? I'd say so.The next day I have off from work that I don't have school I am going to make my appointments for that day. I just hope it is within the next few weeks. You may remember me blogging a couple weeks ago about some problems I have been having with my mediport (automatic IV line that is in my chest) and my g-tube (my stomach feeding tube). Well I need to have a surgeon look at the G-tube to see what size I need to put in. Dr.B thinks the one I have may not be the right size.  Which, I'm not looking forward to changing it again, BUT I get the new style tube (the mini) which is smaller and thinner, so it is easier to hide under a bandaid. I'm looking forward to not taping gauze around my G-tube anymore. Its really hard to hide that sometime and it is impossible in swimsuits. Plus, scraping off ta

New GI Doc (Whew)

Back to GI Office: As you know I went to the GI doctor's little over a week ago and had a horrible experience. It was just the worst doctor I have EVER had and considering my MANY medical problems that's saying something. If you didn't read about why I went to the GI or how that office visit went (check it out right HERE ). Mom went with me again, we had lunch and got to spend the day visiting. I always like to take someone with me, so I super happy she could come with me! Luckily, this doctor was AMAZING. Which Doc B said he would be. Let's call this new, nice, smart doctor (Doc K). I explained all the pain and bathroom issues, etc. Here is what he suggested for our plan of action. First, rule out food allergies & intolerance issues, and get a blood test for Celliacs (just to cover our bases). If diet and food changes don't help, then time for Upper & lower endoscopy with biopsy of tissue. So here is the game plan: Get the blood test for Celliacs
