Exciting News, even in a Hospital!

Exciting News: Even in the Hospital:

3 Exciting things!!


Yes, I know. exciting news in the hospital...Nope, I don't get to go home. Not yet. BUT, I'm excited to share some othe GREAT NEWS! First, of all since I was admitted last Thurirsday morning, I have gained weight. 1. because I don't have time to make food and eat at home as much as I need and 2. Who wouldn't devore a meal of roast beef, potatoes, veggies, fruit, and pudding at 6pm then order anothertray with shrimp and rice, and more dessert at 7pm?

1. So as of today I am 107.4 lbs!


This is the highest I have been in a very long time. To check out my weight and lung functions changes over the years click here- Clinic-My Health Page!

Only, down side...I need to buy new pants and running shorts, none of them fit me...I'm cheap and picky with clothes..so it may take a while. However, I'm sure a trip to Delia's will change my mind. Ps. for some reason Delia's usually fit, when others are too big. So maybe...


2. We were discussing the CF fundraisers And Andrew is going to be doing the CF Climb in November this year!

The CF CLIMB on November 10th is way to committ to the challenge of climbing the 58 floors in honor of everyone affected by CF. This events raises, just like GreatStrides, to provide research for CF and in hopes to find a cure!

I'm going to help them fundraise for the event, so if you'd like to donate, feel free to give the money to one of them, to me, or my mother by November 8th! :-) Sorry, no online link for the Climb. (checks can be made to CF Foundation)


AND 3. I got a Pulmonary Function Test Today (PFT) and I get to find out the results and discuss it with Dr. B tomorrow!

So here is to hoping my lung function goes back up. (currently 45%). So many good things. Weight, friends supporting me, fundraising for CF, keeping up in classes, getting healthy and hoping to get lung function back in the hospital!

YAY! Now, to eat my berry smoothie and wait for Andrew to get here. Well, after my 4 nebulizers and vest treatment of course....

    I need to go to your hospital. My hospital's food was awful. I had my mom bring me every meal when she could and leave behind a cooler with snacks for when she wasn't there.

    Congratulations!!

      I used to go to a different doc and hospital, and the food was bland and limited. Now, I'm in Chicago. Bigger Hospitals, means bigger bucks and better food :-) But yeah, I feel ya. At the old hospital, I had a doc who brought CFers pizza and take out. lol

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...

LOTS, LOTS, LOTS to Tell!

Doing What I Can: People can tell me " Wow, how do you keep up with all that" (referring to all my meds). Sometimes people tell me "That's so awesome that you are doing all that".... Well, I guess, but not really. I just do what the doctors tell me, I know its the best chance I have to living a longer fuller and better quality of life. Plus I have lot of help from Andrew, family, and friends! Right now the main thing I'm working on is: 1. Keeping my lungs at 56% (since my last appointment ) AND 2. following the dietary restrictions the GI specialist gave me (read about that appt here ) & I'm keeping my Food Journal for him to look at. Here's how that is going: Okay...  For the last 7 days I've had no meat in my diet. I really miss my meat and to be honest it didn't help a lot. This week starting today I'm no dairy for 7 days. Then I'm no meat and dairy... Then no gluten for a week. I go back to the specialist in 5 weeks. I...
