Tummy Troubles again, but many NEW good changes!

All the NEWS:


   Well, you may have read earlier about my weight gain and how all my old clothes weren't fitting. Well, here's a pic of me today (before heading to work) in my new dress pants! Love the gray color! Something else new I worked a new Family Video Store today (in Glenveiw), it was only a 30 minute drive there, which is only 5-10 more minute drive than my usual driving to the Westchester store. I still work at Weschester, but filled in for an employee at the other store. I really enjoyed it, their store is a little less hectic than ours. The manager asked if I'd be willing to fill in for other shifts or pick up hours at their store too. I said sure. At Westchester in the last few weeks I worked 25- 30 hours each week.  Adding another shift at Glenveiw will bring me closer to 40 and help me test how I would do full-time (working for Family Video).

In other news... Unfortunately, I've been having some problems similar to ones that I did in the fall the last couple of days.. Pain in my stomach, etc. It hasn't been nearly as bad though..But still not pleasant having stomach pains and bathroom issues. So I'm gonna be really careful of what I eat in the next few days and see what happens. Here you can read all about my past tummy troubles and the colonoscopy I had!

Overall, my stomach issues are soo much better than they used to be. I used to have bathroom issues and stomach problems everyday before I changed my diet. But these stomach problems are different then normal ones, which I why I had the colonoscopy in the first place to rule out crohns, etc. So hopefully this will not continue to be an issue and will go away. Otherwise, I will bring it up a my next Doc appointment in April and go from there!

But otherwise work is going well and I'm soooo happy it is getting nice outside. I can't wait to walk and jog around the walking path across from our apartment. I have been keeping up with lifting my arm weights, etc. I have been doing pretty good at keeping up with the exercise regime I planned (read about my taking exercise more seriously HERE!)

I got my tuition reimbursement from Dominican, so that's taken care of too! Clinical Trial is still in proess and I'm still 100% compliant with my nebulizers and pills since November!  so good things are happening, why let a little tummy trouble get in the way of my smile :-)

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...

Holding Down the Fort

My husband, Andrew, is currently at Wartburg Theological Seminary and is starting his first week of his second year there. Every year he lives on campus for one week. He enjoys starting each semester on campus where he can build friendships with other students and professors. It's the only time he is on campus. Usually he does long-distance learning, online, from home. It was the only way we could manage him doing a four year Master degree program while working. This week is the hardest for us. However, we have something on Thursday and Friday this week, so Andrew will only be gone 3 days instead of the typical full five. So that will make this week a bit easier than the other semesters. It's hard for Andrew to be away, although I know he is having a blast. We send random pictures back and forth like a book he may be reading or a game I may be playing with our kiddo. It is hard for the kid(s) to not see Andrew every day. We are foster parents and stability is a BIG issue for ...

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!
