Celebrating My Amazing Mother!

Dear Mom:

Thank you for always encouraging me
and telling me I can achieve my goals.
Thank you for taking care of me, pretty much 24/7
and making sure I was healthy.

You're the reason today that I graduated college, can dance, sing, and perform, the reason I'm a healthy weight, and was able to get rid of that leg brace. You're the reason I succeeded & honestly, the reason I'm alive.


You are so strong. But yet, you are the most caring & kind person.
Thank you for being someone I can tell anything to
and always being there for me.

I can't imagine how hard it was not bringing me home until I was 5 months old. I can't imagine flushing my mediport, stomach tube, watching me go through medical procedure after procedure..


But you know what?

Thanks to your playing Nintendo 24 hours a day w me while in the hospital, doing funny dances or singing songs to keep me entertained during painful procedures,
I still smiled and never noticed the negatives.

I did everything that anyone else did. I went to sleepovers (you just brought my stomach pump, medical machines, & pills & met with the parents).
 I had the BEST birthday parties, got to stay out late with friends, and got to enjoy summer camps.

You taught me the sky is the limit.
You taught me to be positive, work hard, to be a dreamer, and to never give up.
I hope one day I can be a mother, and be just like you!

Thank you for being my nurse, protector, cheerleader, mother,
 but mostly, my best friend. I love you!

We LOVE YOU!
Happy Mothers' Day!

How Fostering and CF impact my work

I haven't been on my blog much.... I think that is because most of my blogging is currently been done on Health Union's Cystic-Fibrosis.com (here is link to all my posts on their site: https://cystic-fibrosis.com/members/cherizkunkel/ ). I decided last fall to step away from real estate after 3 years in the business. It was tough to say good-bye, especially since I had tripled my volume and business in the last year. However, I didn't have time to add any new clients; I kept saying, maybe next week, next month I can fit more work into my schedule. The truth is fostering takes a lot of time. We have between 5-8 monthly visits at the agency, 1 court ate a month, 2 home visits from the caseworker a month, plus e have 2-3 doctors/specialist appointments for our current kiddo. We have lots of paperwork we fill out, gas mile logs, receipts to add, and more! Our kiddo also participates in gymnastics and dance two nights a week. We go to a fosterparent support group with our kid ...

Updates!

 Hey everyone! Sorry it’s been a while. Covid struggles have been all around and we have been focusing our on our kiddo and current life situations (jobs, home, everything really). We have been posting regularly on the Facebook page (www.facebook.com/CherizCFPage). We will keep you updated on there for now,  because we are doing some big changes to our current blog! Stay tuned!  In meantime, message our FB page if you need anything. Keep safe and stay happy.  We will be back. Promise!

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 t...
