Surgery Still On, I Can Do This!

I can keep it up:

This past blog I discussed my fail at doing everything I needed to. I mentioned having a fever, well the Cipro is doing nothing. I'm not responding to it. I've probably built up a tolerance. So they are putting me on some steroids for the next four days and instead I'm supposed to focus on doing extra nebs A LOT and I'm supposed to do Cayston and Tobi, which usually I only do one a month, because they are nebulized antibiotics. But I will be doing both until after my surgery. And good news my temperature has been normal most of today and only went up to 99.5 for an hour ish.

So if I do tons of meds, walk on the treadmill and get my lungs working better. All should be well with my surgery on Tuesday. But I need to actually do it! So I apologize in advance if I don't hang out or do much this week. I need to get healthy by Tues. I have ONE WEEK to do this and  I need this surgery. Without it work won't happen. Without work I get farther behind in bills and it just can't go that way.

So here it is. Day 1 of kicking my booty in gear!

AND THANK YOU! I have reached my personal goal of $1,000 for the Cf Walk! I'm hoping my team can raise double what we did last year (roughly $2,500 this year)!!!! I'm sooo lucky to have my family and friends there to support me! I can't wait until Saturday to see everyone, you have no idea. I look forward to the CF Walk more than I do Christmas. It reminds me why we (Cfers) fight so hard. We fight for everyone we love. And I know I am very lucky to have so many people in my life who love me and are willing to donate, fundraise and walk every year! 

I am one lucky girl! http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/dsp_DonationPage.cfm?walkid=8670&idUser=187918

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...
