It's cold...ready for the heat again!


I made it to New Year’s Eve without getting too sick. Usually I get sick before Thanksgiving! So I did very well this season so far. I’m still dealing with nose stuff and lung stuff, but I’ll take it over anything worse.  I have another doctor appointment in March. Luckily I was able to sing yesterday at church. I had to miss my last scheduled time because I was coughing insanely.  

CF research has been discovering and creating wonderful new treatments for people like me, however, with the medical funding cuts that the government has/is making, improvements for my life and others with CF will be delayed.  The researchers will then have to rely more so on private donations. Please pray cuts stop happening and do your political part and TELL them to stop! This will effect anyone with a medical condition that requires treatments, medicines, etc. 

On another note, just a few days ago we sold our house! Thank God. I much more prefer to have only one house at a time. : )  Thank you for all the prayers and encouragement for that situation.  Also, thank you to all the people who go out of their way to check on me and send me cards of encouragement, etc. That means so much.  It truly does. That unexpected support really helps lift a spirit. I encourage you to make it a goal this week to contact a friend or two who is living with a disease of some kind and encourage them. Just because you can’t SEE their ailments, doesn't mean they don't exist....  ; )   

Have a great week everyone and try to stay warm.  I'm ready for the warm sunshine again!
