Clinic Results and more news!

Clinic:

My weight is 94 lbs. So I need to work on that, but my lung function is still at 63%. I'm glad it didn't go down at all. Now to just make it go up... lol. We are working on it. Andrew and I ate at Pinstripes, a nice restaurant that serves upscale food, but has a bocce ball and bowling alley in it! Maybe next time we will play some bocce ball!


Other news I found out at Clinic is that my Vitamin D level is finally up from around 14 to 55. Which is normal enough. I just have to maintain it by taking 50,000 units of vitamin D every week. He said he did notice in my blood work a spike in liver function. But, that could be from antibiotics I was on at the time. So next clinic (in two months) I'm getting my liver re-tested to make sure its not an issue. Overall, nothing big happened at Clinic. It was the first Clinic that Andrew has been able to go to. So afterwards we apartment hunted around the school he/ and hopefully I will be attending in the fall. He's been accepted and is all set. My application date was later and will be hearing back in the next week or so. So assuming I get in and can afford it, we will both be attending Dominican University.

Good news, we checked out a couple job opportunities for us and found an apartment in our price range, within the location I wanted to live, less than 15 minutes from our works, school, and our friends' house. It was a long two days scouting around. We were getting annoyed... Or I guess I was. Seriously, I was frazzled. We stopped at a Gas station to buy a paper and Andrew asked the attendant if he knew any areas. He pointed to one area, where we found four complexes, including the one we decided on! 

It's about half the size of my current apt, but is all brand new. We are the first tenants to be in it, since its complete remodel. Plus, its first floor (no wheezing up flights of stairs with groceries) and we have a lil patio, with sliding doors (which dad will like- since it will be easy to move the furniture in). :-) It is across the street from a park/lake! Oh, and the landlord is really nice. He must be 7 ft tall, he sounds and looks like Robert the brother on "Everybody Loves Raymond". I've been so lucky with great landlords, so lucky to have this place! Can't wait til August 10th <--- moving day!

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...

Blog Around the World

Linking Blogs Around the World: Last week I was contacted by my friend Kymberly at  Peas in a Pod Creations  to participate in the Blog Around the World Posts.   Pic: Me, Kym (the Bride), and here sister, Stephanie!   While Kymberly doesn't have Cystic Fibosis, her blog is an outlet for her beautiful quilts and other sewn, knitted, or quilted projects. Kym and I not only were best friends in high school, but we were next door neighbors. (like she said in her blog post) We lived exactly 18.7 feet from each other and some summers we spent literally the whole day 9am-9pm together hanging out! So of course I was thrilled for her to invite me to do this posting challenge.This is a great way for bloggers, like myself, to share our favorite blogger pages that we visit. Here are the ?s that came along with the post. What am I working on? How does my work differ from others in the same genre? Why do I create/Write? How does my writting process work? Hopefully, if you a...

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...
