2013:

I was cast in a play, where I was a pregnant nagging wife...

But I got 104 fever opening day, was transported by ambulance to Chicago's Hopistal for a Virus and Fungal Infection....

I got out in time to celebrate my BIRTHDAY!


I turned 28 in April :-) Andrew got me 3 gifts and one of them was...
SHELDON!



In May we performed in a play, Xanadu! Andrew was the lead & got to roller skate around stage in short-shorts!

We have been dating for one year at this point and Andrew planned a weekend of suprises for me (including a mini golf course and a visit from my parents)
-sounds geeky, but It's me. I get homesick for my parents a lot too! Best wknd ever!

November 10th: Andrew Climbed 58 flights for CF, raising $310 for CF research, bringing our total for the year to $3,416.50

And before I knew it, it was the holidays!

Thanksgiving- we were creative cooking...
(Read About Some Celebrations- and see Christmas Pics)




And Christmas 2013!



So Happy New Year Everyone! It has been a crazy, but amazing year!

Now, I gotta start cooking our dinner. Andrew gets off tonight after he closes the restaurant, so I will have everything ready for us (including our sparkling -non-alcoholic- bottles, which we bought at IKEA, because we're cool like that).  We actually decided to not drink, because my liver enzymes were elevated a lot this year and found 3 amazing flavors at IKEA.

I hope everyone had a great year and I can't wait to see what 2014 brings! Even if it ends up being another roller coaster, I will love it!

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...
