Happy Birthday Mom!!

5

More Days!!!!!

~Sorry I have been MIA... Been busy. I had 2 events this last weekend. Fri I was part of a gallery stroll which was a lot of fun it was my first time every doing something like that. My event on Sat was awesome we raised a lil over $1700 for CF, $200 was from one of my paintings so that is always exciting. The event was put on by the WandA show which is a reality show that two of my girlfriends are starting, I can't wait to see what happens with that. 

~The babies Bday outfits arrived today they are SO CUTE!!!! They were handmade with pug love from Pug possessed click here to read her blog and visit her Etsy store. Be on the lookout for photo shoot pics soon!

~I am working on finalizing plans for the weekend. Ricki and Mariel come into town Fri! I can't wait. We are going to have a slumber party one night. The Big Bday Bash is Sun night!! 

~Started Aztreonam today! I have been having this pain in my upper left lung I got an x ray for it a week and a half ago and it showed nothing besides the usual. So I am stumped they think it could be a plug or at the time I was on TOBI and they thought that could of broken thru some infection or something. But today it was still bugging so I hope the Aztreonam can put a stop to it! They asked me to rate the pain from 1-10 well I am never good at that so I answered with annoying. Cause I feel great besides that and I blew the best on my peak flow meter in a long time so like I said I am stumped! it comes and goes so I wouldn't mind it going til after my Bday. 

~Well I can't think of anything else..... So have a fab night everyone! Muah!

May is

Officially Cystic Fibrosis Awareness month and we all know we have some awareness to spread. The need for a cure is greater than ever! So keep on keeping on so we can all make CF stand for CURE FOUND!!!

I like to read memoirs about the inspiring stories of people with CF. I was recently asked to read 

SIXTY FIVE ROSES: A sister's Memoir By Heather Summerhayes

I was excited to read it, Pam was diagnosed back in 1958 when she was 4 years old and back then really there was no treatment for children with CF. They weren't expected to live much into their child hood. So during those times the diagnosis was a bit depressing. However, Pam defied the limits and lived life to the fullest and taught her older sister Heather how to live.

I thought it was very interesting to see how far we have come from 1958 to 2009. Just think we now have 30+ drugs in the pipeline, these drugs will allow patients to hopefully live well beyond the 37 year old life expectancy. There is so much more hope now then there was in 1958.

I also thought it was very interesting to hear the perspective of a healthy sibling living with a CFer. It made me reflect a lil bit on what my bros maybe had to deal with and still do to this day.

 Click here to read more about the author and this book. A portion of the proceeds from this book are going to the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Celine wrote the forward and Eva Longoria has purchased the film rights. Have any of you read this book? I would love to know what you thought.
