Sleepover and upcoming Clinic!

Sleepover & Clinic is soon!

Every summer my cousin Kazia (now 13yrs old) comes to stay with my mom for a week or two. And usually I will have Kazia stay the night a couple times at my apt. Kazia stayed at my house the last two nights. The first night we just ate pizza, watched a movice, and fell asleep early.

(Picture of Hot n Cold Makeover-which while she was writting H and C on my face, It felt like H and O...I was glad to see it wasn't.lol)

But last night we rented some movies, did makeovers, and ate junk food, all while I was hooked up to my stomach feeding. It reminded me of when I used to stay at Aunt Karla's (Kazia's Mom's) house in the summer. I grew up very close to Kazia's sister, Devahn. Devahn and I were always spending summer at each other's place. We are tight as cousins can be. We spent a lot of time hanging out with a couple older cousins too, mostly Patricia and Mary. Some of Patricia and I's outings are hilarious, but that's for another post. Anyway, It's neat seeing how much fun I had with them and how I looked up to them. And Kazia told me last night how much fun she thought Ada and I were. 

Today, I'm meeting up with a friend I haven't seen in a while and Friday we are going on a Mother/Daughter outing! We are planning to go to Bishop Hill. I don't know if I have ever been there and I am looking forward to spending the day with my mom, and my friend and her mom.

I'm really trying to put weight back on since in the last couple weeks during my "mummy disease" spells I lost 5 lbs. Hopefully, going to bishop hill won't burn too many calories. I have Clinic on Saturday and I can't wait to talk to Dr. B about the Spots/joint problems. I have a few spots back today and my wrists/ankles hurt, but otherwise its ok. Could be way worse, whew. I really hope that Dr. B isn't too upset at the weight loss and figures out my "mummy disease." This will be my first clinic with my new doctore where my weight or anything will go down and not up. I always felt like a failure at my last doctor's clinic after leaving when something didn't go well. I'd get really upset at myself. I'm just soooo nervous for Saturday!

Updates Galore!

Big News, Big Times, Big Change: I had my post hospital Doctor's appointment on April 21st and it went well. I posted a video on my CF facebook page. My weight is back on track, heading up. Also, my lung function was around 55%, so that's almost my baseline. I got to take my needle out that night. OH BOY!! I loved being needle free! Whoohoo no more IVs!!!!! In the last week I have been super busy with a few different things. 1. Work. I have a new client AND I had all my post licensing webinars & exams this last week! 2. More CF Foundation Volunteer work. I held a presentation in my home town, where I discussed CF, the different mutations & severity of classes, as well as fundraising for great strides. I talked about the history of the CF foundation, care centers, and more about our local IL CF fundraisers. Overall, it wasn't a big turn out, so I was a little bummed. My hometown has always supported my CF cause, so it was disappointing not to have a good numb...

Today's BIG Appointment

 I discussed last week about my recent struggles & goals. I have been dealing with a lot all at once! Family planning (update on that in 2 weeks), my Grandma's funeral, lower lung function. Through it all I have remained very compliant with my meds! My health is VERY important to me. So this last weekend I took my vest machine, wabi sterilizer system , and packs of ensure to my parent's for the weekend. I wanted to make sure I did everything. While it was a sad occasion, it was still pleasant seeing almost all of the family together again. Actually 27 out of 29 of the cousins made it to the funeral. Grandpa is in the middle of the picture (can you find me?) LOL   On top of my medications I have been doing some dancing & walking, but no jogging or anything. I'm still counting calories on my fitbit (hitting over 3000) a day (& 40 grams of protein, 50 grams of fat at least). I knew I was feeling a bit better than before, but wasn't sure what to expec...
