Day 30

Hey,

I can't believe 30 days have gone by already. Sad to think time flies by so quickly. Well, I am still trying to decide what to do in the future. Whether or not I continue this blog is something I still don't have the answer to. I mean my life is a lot more than just CF treatments, although some days I don't feel that way. Perhaps I should just change the title?! However, I hate admitting this and will avoid discussing it with my doctors, but what a difference these things make. Who knew taking your medication as it is prescribed would help you or that exercising would make you feel better? Maybe I am just a slow learner, but I am glad I used this blog to experiment and learn some lessons. I have been feeling so good recently and it only makes sense that it is all of these things combined. So whether or not I continue my blog, I will for sure continue my treatments.
I want to let everyone know May is Cystic Fibrosis awareness month. Here is some more awareness: Approximately 30,000 children and adults have been diagnosed with CF in the United States. About 1 in every 31 people are carriers for this genetic disease. There are more than 1,000 different mutations of the CF gene.The median life expectancy is now age 37. There is still no cure for this disease, which is why research and fundraising are so important.  All of this and much more information is on the CF Foundation website at www.cff.org. In May, we have the Great Strides Walk. More than 250,000 people from all over come together to raise money and awareness for this disease. This year I did not put together a team, because my family has gone through some very hard times and people were helping us just to get by and couldn't turn around and ask people for more money. I still want be a voice for CF and give to such a great cause. Great Strides is raising money to make a huge difference in my life, my nephew's life, and others like us who just want a chance at a normal and long future. If you would like to get involved or start a team, they make it so easy. Just go to http://www.cff.org/great_strides/ and sign up.
Well, please check back from time to time, I am not saying good bye yet, but we will see what the future holds!
Thanks for reading!!!
Good night!
