NEW GLOUCESTER: From a distance, the low, rumbling gurgle of their motors filled the cool autumn air. Soon, they swarmed over the horizon in groups of twos and threes, some slumped in their seats and others clenching tightly to their partners’ waists. To a bystander, it would have been an ominous sight. But this is no Hells Angels convention. In fact, it’s the furthest thin

I was released from Club Med today. I was released a week early
On (good behavior) as I call it, or being let out on parole. I was let out 1 week early. I was on oral antibiotics for a week and my Numbers were high enough so that I was able to get out after 7 days. Dr Z and I talked more about my getting done work.

As you know I’ve been feeling bad. So I called Dr. Z, he had put me on oral antibiotic. After trying that, and it not working I called his office back and told them there was no improvement. So he admitted me today. I went down to x-ray and when I got back they had told me that I had a lot of mucus in my lungs. So they started my regular regiment of IV antibiotic. I will keep you posted on what’s happening .

Well I went to see my CF Dr after the exam he talked to Amy and me. He thought that I might have to go back into the hospital. It’s only been about 6 weeks since my last admission. He also told us that if I go back in we will need to contact Columbia and let them know, that will be one more step closer for me towards the transplant. He also told me that I should think about getting done work. He thought that working full time could start to hurt me more than help me. He told us that I need to take more time for treatments and less for work. I do my treatment every day but he said I will
