CF Doesn' t Own Me & Celebrating!

CF: A part of me:

Some Celebrations are this weekend:
First of all, Happy Birthday to my Dad!  I think my Dad is absolutely Amazing!!! Please take a minute to read all about why he is a phenominal father in this past father's day blog post! Also you can read about a funny story with a simple example for how dad is always there to save the day in this lil past post here!


So besides my Dad's Bday being today, Andew and I put up Christmas/Had a Holiday Dinner yesterday! We put up the Christmas Tree, some decorations, listened to Christmas Music and did some baking!  Here are some of our Christmas/Holiday Pictures!

We used a Clean/New Stomach Syringe for the Turkey! Seriously, supplies double as so much! What other supplies do you use for other things? We used to squirt colored water out of the syringes to color the snow too!


I'm still working on a fun dinning room table set and coffee table centerpiece!

Okay, now back the part in the title "CF Doesn't Own Me", this is why I feel it is important to state that:

I've notcied in the last couple of weeks, that I post a lot of CF related posts on my Facebook. Which is okay, since CF is such a huge part of my life. BUT, I try not to post more than once a day. But sometimes there are some really cool news about Clinical Trials, or CF Walks, or even related to my personal health. But I don't always post about it, in fear I will be posting too much. Or not everyone I'm FB friends with wants to read about CF all the time. Plus, I blog usually 2-3 a week, so that is quite a few posts too! I had a group on Facebook where people could find tips on fundraising for walks and photos from the walks, and get new info! But it isn't a page, therefore I can't post in it (and have it go on regular newsfeed and it won't generate an audience. The whole point of starting a page would be to share about the Princeton Walk, other CF Walks I'm doing, and how family, friends, and the community can get involved. Pages are easier to work with, in that anyone can share them, invite others to them, and keep updated! So I've decided to make a page. Feel free to join the page to stay updated! If you are already in the group, feel free to stay in it or leave. I will be posting everything on the page now, and less often in the group.

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...

SummerTime

 Who Doesn't LOVE the Summer: Summer is very much welcomed in our house! Andrew has more time off in the summer. I'm excited he graduates from college this December! Since the Fall of 2013 he has worked full-time while going to school full-time (35-45 hours at work & 12-15 credits per semester). This fall will be a little easier, he only has 2 classes & his Capstone Paper/project. However, he has been working on that this summer so he's ahead of the game. I've been enjoying spending more time with him this summer. Last night we walked down to the lake and had a picnic dinner. Had to find a shady spot so I didn't get sunburnt, I burn fairly fast from daily antibiotics & fair skin. We got to use one of our wedding shower presents. My mom got us a lawn blanket that zips up, along with the shadowbox, and other items. We love to going to the band concerts & activities in the park. So the lawn blanket will get lots of use. We packed it all up in a pic...
