Weekend, gone for a few days!

This Weekend:

I will be gone tomorrow morning through Sunday, so I won't be able to blog and will have to find something equally entertaining to keep me occupied during my meds.

Today, I had a busy day; I ran errands, babysat this morning, judged theatre and interior design at the 4H fair this afternoon. I came home started packing and went back later to judge the fashion revue/show.

Of course, I come home to continue packing, but I want to pack all my clothes. I keep thinking, "oooh I might want this" or "oh, that's really cute!" Apparently, the fashion show, got my mind in fashion mode!


(packing and unpacking, packing and unpacking...)

Okay, I took out a lot of the clothes I didn't need. And I got everything into 2 bags. For a 2 night/3 day trip that sounds sad. But with Med stuff, I'm proud of my packing capabilities (Yay, for Girl Scouts).

bag on left: clothes (pjs, reg outfits, jogging outfits, cute outfit for going out), hair/tolietries (see my aussie hair spray!) pills in the mesh pocket, ipod, etc.

bag on right: big compartment: 8 cans of stomach feeding (which is why my bags weigh SO MUCH!), bags, feeding pump, tube and syringe (connector), med tape, therapy machine, accapella machine, altera therapy machine (for Cayston), nebulizer cups(4), and anything I left off the list! smaller compartment: shoes for wedding, shoes for regular, comfy cute shoes, and running shoes. (I got it down to 4 pair shoes and my flip flops that I'm wearing there!)


Just imagine, last fall when I went to Vegas I had to pack double the meds and feeding cans! Seriously, I can't imagine what a week long vacation would like (in luggage) for me! YIPES! I can barely manage my two bags, purse, and small cooler (for refrigerated meds)!

Yep, I'm all set! I'm so excited to spend the weekend with my friend, Dan! Spencer and Kayla's Wedding is Saturday, which will be lots of fun and really nice to see some friends from U of I! I haven't been to Quincy to visit Dan since Feb! At least I have a car this time, so I don't have to manage all the luggage at the train station :-)

So Everyone have A GREAT WEEKEND! and I will be back to blogging when I get back! :-) ps. keep my friend, Laura in your thoughts & prayers. She is still in the hospital, recovering well from surgery (had her port replaced), but still pretty sick!

First blog: Hello

My first Blog: A little About Me I'm not sure why I have decided to start a blog, however, here I am.  I have honestly thought about writing about my life for years, but have always chickened out. I have finally decided to share the experiences life has thrown at me. The biggest reason I have been asked to blog by people is because of everything I have dealt with medically. I have Cystic Fibrosis and a few other medical problems...This is probably the best reason why I should blog. I can relate to others who are dealing with medical problems, however,my CF is also why I did not want to write this blog. CF can be embarssing and annoying sometimes... but it  has helped define who I have become to be as a person. Therefore, (yes, even though I want it cured) I don't hate having CF. Let me start off with some basic info and statements. I'm 26 yrs old and have dealt with CF all my life. In this blog you will hear recent stories (good, bad, embarassing); a...

Holding Down the Fort

My husband, Andrew, is currently at Wartburg Theological Seminary and is starting his first week of his second year there. Every year he lives on campus for one week. He enjoys starting each semester on campus where he can build friendships with other students and professors. It's the only time he is on campus. Usually he does long-distance learning, online, from home. It was the only way we could manage him doing a four year Master degree program while working. This week is the hardest for us. However, we have something on Thursday and Friday this week, so Andrew will only be gone 3 days instead of the typical full five. So that will make this week a bit easier than the other semesters. It's hard for Andrew to be away, although I know he is having a blast. We send random pictures back and forth like a book he may be reading or a game I may be playing with our kiddo. It is hard for the kid(s) to not see Andrew every day. We are foster parents and stability is a BIG issue for ...

Close to a Cure?!?!?! and Thank You!!!!!!!!

Help Us Find A Cure & Thank you! Lots of new meds and treatments are being researched thanks to the CF Foundation and the people who support it! Thank you soooo much everyone for supporting me and the CF GreatStrides Walks! I hope you enjoy hearing about the cool new ways steps are being taken towards finding a cure for CF and how everyone has helped me and us (the cf community)! New Treatments And Break Throughs: As you may know, from reading my last couple blogs. Some exciting news was released!  VX-809 + Kayldeco Phase 3 (6 month clinical trials) has started! Which means if all goes well, this could be on the market in the next year or two. This drug helps target the actual faulty gene. It will help improve our lung function (hopefully gain some back, the part that isn't damaged) and will help us to slow the decline of our lungs health tremendously! This is the treatment for my mutations!To read more about this new treatment click Here! Also, there are other medic...
