Help me PRINCETON!

Princeton Walk:

It's official, My hometown will be hosting it's first GreatStrides walk ( Walk for Cystic Fibrosis)!!! I've done 6 walks: 3 in Peoria, IL, 2 in Champaign, IL, and 1 in Hollowayville, IL in the past couple years.

However on
 JUNE 28, 2014!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited to have Princeton have a Walk! My hometown has always been supportive and helped encourage me. My teachers understood when I missed classes, my friends understood when I did my nebulizers while hanging out,, and my family has always been there for me!

What everyone needs to know about the walk:

THIS IS A TRIAL WALK. If we have a good enough turn out at the Walk, it will become a permanent walk site! Which I would love very VERY MUCH!! Please help me make this a reality!

Since this is the FIRST WALK! Before it can become a Walk Site with its own online registration and fundraising pages, we have show them we can bring enough people to the walk!

The Foundation Said:  For this year's Walk will register under TEAM PRINCETON at the Tuscola, IL Walk Site. City of Princeton's Walk Site! Click Here!  (make sure to "join a team"- search for Princeton and scroll down to join the team) Facebook, call or email me if you have questions!

 This allows me to keep tab on the number of people signed up, while allowing everyone who signs up to have an online fundraising website. Registering early, helps me to see about how many people are attending. (helps with food, T-Shirts Counts, etc). So PLEASE consider registering early.  You do not need to walk at the Tuscola Site, just Princetons.

We are justing using their site to sign up for online purposes!

So don't forget sign up UNDER TEAM PRINCETON at the TUSCOLA walk. If you need help, just ask. I can sign you up and help you with it!

Here is a picture of my Team Last year! Thank you to everyone who has ever walked with me and I hope to see you all next year in PRINCETON!

5K. I could cry. Beyond Annoyed.

My 5K I paid my registartion fee weeks ago, have been training and I'm ready for the 5K. However, I didn't get to run my 5K today. Why? Because Cystic Fibrosis decided to one up me. I got my spots back friday, and they just got worse and worse. They look like this: They take over my feet, and sometimes my calves. I posted about this a few weeks ago. I had them during the last few performances of Hairspray. I call it the "Mummy disease" because when it happens my joints freeze up and I can't move. So the morning of my 5K I wake up and they are on my thighs...     and on my arms. This is the worst they have been in years. I took pictures to show Dr. B at my clinic on the 11th.  I'm just really bummed and upset about my weekend! I was supposed to run my first 5K!!!!! I then had a bags tournament in Peoria for the Dream Factory, and was then going to head to Champaign for Sat night- Monday! My friend Alex, reserved me a ticket for Ren...

Calling All Who Care!

     Please Read : Okay, so first off I want to say that this post is tough. It's tough to think about and write. However, it is extremely important and a huge topic in the CF Community, and is VERY NEAR AND DEAR to MY HEART!  First I want to ask you... What if I told you I needed a Transplant. That I needed to reach a certain weight, get my kindeys functioning better, get a higher pain tolerance, and get off a couple medications I take right now. What if I said I couldn't receive a 2nd chance at life unless I reached these goals and I raised a certain amount of money that seems impossible to raise. What if I had been in and out of the hospital off and on for the last year, with many surgeries, had multiple infections and my lung function dropped from 40s to the teens and now is slowly dropping still. What if I was starting to wonder if my decision to go through the grueling Transplant tests was worth it. What if I start to get down about my cf and wondering why ev...

A Hospital at Home

Coming home from the hospital takes a balance..... Wait.... Did I just say home from the hospital??? That's right!  I get to leave Wednesday the 18th, after 8 days in the hospital. It was a logistical thing. I have a super important court date on for "Shoes (our AMAZING foster son) soon." So Doc knew before he admitted me that I would be leaving by that day... So what does this mean for me and my health??? Well, I need to make sure I continue the same treatment schedule I would in the hospital. So 4 sets of nebs a day. 8am, noon, 4pm, 8pm. Which means I finish my course of IVs at home. I will be on IV's at least until 27th (so 1.5 weeks left). I came into the hospital on Tuesday the 10th, but we didn't realize until Friday the 13th that my Psuedomonas is resistant to all of the antibiotic options for IVs except one med. So on the 13th we switched to Avycaz, which is a newer, hard hitting antibiotic that was brought to market less than 3 years ago. We were hoping I...
