Results of the Doctors Visit...

First of all, I would like to say a big "Thank you!" to J.R. who made my day when I read his comment! It made me feel good to know that someone cares for me out there! =)

Anyhoo, I went to the doctor yesterday, and thought for sure that I was going into the hospital. Again. Well.... I was wrong. My x-rays looked good, and my results for a test called a "spirometry" showed that my lung function has actually improved since January! They are not where they should be, but they are getting there!

Turns out, the reason I have been feeling yucky is because of allergies, and that is causing my asthma to really act up. So, more meds have been added to my already overflowing list, but hey, if it makes me feel better, I'll take it. I don't have to go back until August, so for the first time in 4 years I can stay home during the summer! Yay! God is good! I am setting a goal for even better lung function numbers in August, so maybe I will reach it!

I am finally out of school, and found out that I had A's and B's. This is after missing a month of school because I was in the hospital! I know I can do things that seem impossible, so... To beating CF, here I come!

Tired, but Thankful...

Today I am so thankful that school is almost over for the summer. It's not that I don't like school, it's just that I know that this summer is going to be crazy! Between hospital stays, job hunting, and just being sick, I kind of dread it. I am thinking about keeping this updated, and sharing with others, but I am not sure.

I am also thinking about everything in my life, and all that I am blessed with, and I am just so happy. No matter how hard I think life is, I still have a wonderful family, and that is something that is becoming more and more rare. I love that my parents let me stay with them, and stay with me when I go into the hospital. They don't have to do either one of those, but that's just the kind of people they are. I love my life right now. No matter how many times I cough, get sick, moan, groan, gripe, or just be plain annoying, they still are there for me. They know how hard my life gets, and they are there with me every step of the way.

Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with so many great things that I don't deserve.

Countdown to Summer!

Wow, I cannot believe that this semester is almost over! At first, it seemed like it was going to be forever until school was over for the summer! Now I am thinking, "Am I sure that I have done everything for school? Am I sure that the semester ends in two weeks? Did I do all of that work?" I keep thinking about how I came back from the hospital, and how hard I had to work to catch up.
I think about how much I had overcome, and I feel proud of myself. I think that just shows myself that I can overcome anything I set my mind to. If I am determined, I can do it. This made my self-esteem level go up!
I can't wait until summer, though! Except the fact that I have to go to the doctor on May 4th, so I am anxious about whether or not I will have to go back in the hospital or not... That is the only thing that I dread about the summer. I have spent every summer in the hospital since I hurt my knee in 2008. I am torn between wanting to go in, or wanting to stay home. If I don't go in, I will have to go back to the doctor in August, and if I go in then, I will miss some of the first of the semester! That would be terrible! I guess I am just going to have to pray about it, and trust God. I know whatever happens will be what is supposed to happen, and it happens for a reason.
I hope everyone is doing good, and I am glad that I got the chance to meet everyone of you!
