Hello everyone, Just a quick note to let you know how I am. I have had a pretty good summer. I have not been in Club Med. Yet!!I have been real busy with my daughter this summer. I go back to meet with the team on the first of October. I have been feeling so-so. My chest has just started to feel heavy. I am hoping that I can take care of it at home. I’ll keep you posted on my health and my visit with the team.

We meet with the transplant team today. My lung function is now at 33% I am still a little to healthy. I got the usual tests. He asked my thoughts on this and I told him that I just wanted to hurry up and get this over and done. I told him that I was getting tired of setting on the bed for 20 minutes and “coughing up a lung” as I call it. Then I can move on with the things I want to do and go back to work, which is what I want to really do. Other than that my condition is the same. They tell me that’s a good thing. They want to keep my organs in me as longs as they can. I wi

The Dance Center in Auburn hosted a bake sale for us. My daughter has danced there for 6 years now. We were set up there for two days to sell baked good. We had a wonderful weekend. It was fun to be there and to meet all the people. Thank you to the Dance Center for allowing us to have a bake sale. It was a huge success. Thank you to all those that helped at the bake sale and a big thank you to all those that cooked all the wonderful food.

The Portland Sea Dogs hosted CF day at Hadlock Field today. A mom of a CF patient sang the national anthem, I was presented the check on behave of the CF Foundation. A 13 year old CF patient through out the first pitch. New Lungs for George had a booth there. It was awesome to be out on the field in front of all those baseball fans, receiving the check. I think we got a lot of good PR from this event. Thank you to all those that helped us with this event. Thank You to the Sea Dogs for allowing us to be part of the CF Day.

Well I started feeling crappy again. So I called the Dr. to tell him how I felt. He then called ahead and booked my room. My Chest was feeling real heavy and it hurt to take a deep breath. I was I n for 9 days and then went home for 5 days on home IV’S. I had to have a Pic line put in. That is a line that runs up your arm and goes into your heart. They had put it in my left side and I got blood clot in it. So they had to take it out and put it in my right side. My arm was swelled up and was red around the site where it went in the arm. So the nurses looked at it and called the Dr. and to
