• Yesterday (5/5/16) was good ol CF clinic.  Nothing spectacular to report there really in the sense that we didn’t change anything or add any extra tests.  My PFTs (lung functions were) basically the same.  My FEV1 was .93 L/ 31%.  My first 2 attempts were identical at .89 L/ 30%.  If I were a healthy (NON CF) Shannon the predictable FEV1 I should get is 2.96 L.  That is based on my age, gender, height, weight and race.   (more…)
