Haha my family, and Clinic Tues!

Today:

I had tons of different plans today. I was planning on getting donuts at Larry's and ended up going to the Big apple with my Family for breakfast. I worked then went to a Bridal Shower, then I originally had a date night planned, which failed so I planned a phone date with a friend of mine, which got rescheduled for tomorrow. :-) So then I had a nap and some work planned, cuz I was tired and need to get some stuff done. However, I thought it would be nice to help the family out with the planting the garden tonight. So skipped the nap and went to my parents. Love my family:

Dad assigned the jobs...
Mom's Job: Tells Dad Where to plant the veggies
Ada's Job: Gets to water the plants unless she sprays it too much or gets dad wet.
My Job: Pick up empty containers and hand dad tools.
Dad's Job: Do all the physical and dirty work :-)

Wow, I was useful. But really it was hilarious. Dad comes walking out of the Garage..

Ada: "There's Dad with the Ho(e)" (dad carrying a rake and hoe)

Later on:
Dad: "I need the Ho(e)"
Ada's Response : "Cheriz"
(I stare at her trying to figure out if she just called me a Ho or was saying my name meaning for me to get the hoe....) she is clever enough, she meant both.

Later when Dad and I were the only ones outside:
Dad: "Cheriz, go turn on the water... (runs to house) Wait come here (runs back) nevermind, I got it now, go turn on the water (runs to water) Oh, wait..... Oh, ok, Now.... Oh, turn it off." (dad walks to garage returns with sprinkler... Repeat actions...)

However, TODAY is my parents 29th Wedding Anniversary and it is a little cute as a family we got have breakfast and plant mom's garden :-)

I just got home and received a text that a friend of mine is popping over tonight to chat :-)  Today started out with such a different plan, I just kinda flew by the seat of my pants.

And Tuesday is Clinic (dun dun dun). I know what he'll say : "You've lost weight, your lung function decreased, you need to have that surgery, and my vitamin D levels are still non-existent. fingers crossed it works out okay. I hate when he is disappointed or I disappoint everyone who loves me and I always get really upset with myself after clinic. I usually start getting upset about clinics if I think they will be "bad" a week a head of time. So this whole week I've been dreading this tues. Let's get it over with.

Also, just so ya know. I'm scheduling surgery, gonna talk to Doc about Vit D, and hopefully gets some stuff figured out, so it won't be all bad, I'm just a nervous nelly about Clinics!

  1. Clinic probably will be bad, but at least this time you know it's because of the stupid insurance company (weren't you also in the hospital for a few days earlier this year) and not your skipping meds. You've gotten things back on track in the past and you'll do it again. Hopefully you'll come home with a good game plan of how to get everything back to where it should be.

  2. Do you take vitamin D pills? I've been taking 2 calcium +D vitamins everyday for the last several years and my vitamin D levels are actually a little high so I cut down to one a day....might want to ask your Dr about that - unless you're already doing that...just a thought.

Planning ahead (yay, for being organized).

Organization: it is a great thing! I'm doing another CF Walk in October! It's on the 6th at 9am. Why am I posting this now? In the past I wasn't organized. I would end up asking a couple friends to walk it with me. I didn't fundraise much, but I want that to change! I've had people tell me they would have walked if they knew about it. I'm blogging now, being more active on CF communities online, and there is no reason why I shouldn't invite others to do the walk. Everyone knows I have CF, why did I never invite more people?? No clue. So here I am inviting everyone to come and walk with my team! Here is the link the Facebook Event: Cheriz's CF walk FB event Also a link directly to my GreatStrides Walk page is on the upper lefthand side of the blog! I want to start to be more active in fundraising walks (along with 5ks). I'm planning on doing 2-3 CF walks a yr, and the ALS/PLS Walk every year! If you want to cheer me on at my first 5k i...

End of Summer -Updates!

Wow, I can't believe it's been a year since we moved our blog to www.MoreThanDNA.org! A lot has happened in that year. My husband and I became Foster Parents to some amazing kiddos and still have one of those kiddos living with us. We have loved having "Shoes" with us and can't believe how much he has grown and learned in the year!I'm so proud of him! We have court next week, so prayers that it goes okay (and doesn't get continued again- that just drags it out longer for the kids). He is now 39 months old and starting Pre-K this month! Other big changes include: Some renovation to our home (complete Bath rehab & updated plumbing throughout), I started a new gene-targeting medication (symdeko) that is helping to keep me stable these last 3 months, and I got an AffloVest! I'm loving my new portable vest! Also, career wise...we both switched jobs! Andrew also started Seminary this summer to get a Masters Degree in Divinity. He has always wanted to be ...

Why I Hope this Hospital Stay is Different

Typically, I've been very stable as an adult. I'm very lucky for that stability. However, 2018 started out nowhere near where I wanted. I was admitted mid March for a virus. We aren't sure what virus I had (every test came back negative). However, I had a consistent fever over 102 the entire 5 days I was in the hospital. Once I was fever free for 24 hours and I started eating better, they let me return home. I was excited to leave and get back to my everyday life. But, considering now a month later (and re-admitted), I think I should of just done a two week tune-up last month while I was in already. Live and learn. As you know (I'm sure) I have been trying to get my lung function back up to around 55-60%. 60% is my goal and it really is the highest my lung function can get, due to all the permanent scarring. I started Orkambi in October 2016. At that time it was the newest gene-modifier drug on market for CF patients (with my mutations).  After going on Orkambi I droppe...
