I started having viral symptoms on the 22nd)…fevers, body aches, chills, horrendous cough, horrible chest pain from all the coughing, shortness of breath, etc. I finally had enough yesterday and had to go to the ER. There was no CF clinic for me to be seen in this week so ER it was. I tested negative for the flu which I was exposed to. My chest X-ray showed no changes and no pneumonia, all good there. Labs showed that my white count was elevated so my body was definitely fighting something. I was started on IV Zosyn and oral Levaquin. I didn’t get to my room until 9pm. I did lung functions while in the ER and my FEV1 was down 10% to 28%. That’s a decent drop. This virus or whatever it is a doozy. (more…)

I don’t write much about my family but this is a big update! My husband is retiring from the Air Force after 20 years service today. I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of him and all he has done for our country and our family. 20 years of service is a great accomplishment in the Air Force, and in any military branch. He has done our country a major service that comes with a lot of stories for generations to come. (more…)
