Spoiler Alert : Not My Most Exciting Week

So i havent posted for a little while and i feel like i have a lot to say but ATM all im thinking about is how much my throat hurts and i just keep wondering when this cold, if thats all this is (knock on wood), will end!!
                             But....life updates-
lets seeeeeeeeeee, last friday i saw The Hobbit and it was my first IMAX experience and i was scared i might fall asleep for a little but then i found out just how loud and ridiculous an IMAX movie is hahaha, needless to say theres no way id have fallen asleep. (Id like to add that i was just really tired, the falling asleep has nothing to do with what movie it was). Saturday Allie and i went to TBOX (twelve bars of christmas) downtown and had an amazing time! We wore our finest Christmas attire and headed to Wrigleyville around 8ish and everyone was T.R.A.S.H.E.D. by the time we got there. I mean like ridiculously belligerently in your face smashed. It was obnoxious, but little did we know wed end up exactly the same way by the end of the night haha. This week was a little slow as i didnt feel too great but I went to Houlies on Monday and Gene and Judes on Tuesday with Brent ( aaaaaaand then theres X Factor last night and tonight and the people i wanted to win won!!! I am so obsessed with Alex and Sierra their just too damn cute!! I wish theyd adopt me into their relationship....
                                  Now CF updates-
Ive felt really tired for the past few days to a week and just recently ive started to get a bad sore throat and i went thought like an entire box of tissues in one day which is horrible, and im hoping its just a cold but im not sure. Im gonna take it easy and hope it goes away but if not ill call my doctor after the new year. and yes after the new year CF will NOT take these holidays away from me!!! Ive been working really hard with doing my meds and eating as much as i can although if i had a better appetite itd be easier, this cold is really taking a toll on me, i did just eat a whole meal equaling 1,002 calories though! 2,000 left for today to make my goal!! (yeah....) My breathing has gotten worse im having trouble just walking to my car and im coughing constantly. Im hoping things improve soon but either way i will get better at posting!!

Well thats all for now! Sorry for the boring post but my life is a little less than exciting at the moment.

couple more winter photos...(alot of them are in bathrooms...my apologies. For some reason we do that)

Hospital Day 1

Well day 1 was frustrating to say the least, i was put on the 12th floor which seems like itd make sense because its the respiratory unit but im always on 14 so i didnt have my usual doctors and nurses, im sure their just as good on 12 ad on 14 but they dont know a thing about cf! The doctor kept asking if i was near sick people or construction cause she couldnt understand why i was having trouble breathing if i wasnt sick lol i told her its just normal cf stuff like 5 times haha. Luckily my first nurse has a daughter with it so shes familiar from a parent stand point but then again i dont know her daughters situation im sure its different as everyones is and so she still wasnt sure how to treat me, she got me a room on 14 though so i moved up there around 7 :) My RT last night was amazing too he was hilarious and i had never had him before but he told me jokes and i think laughing was almost better treatment than the physio he did haha. So the day wasnt too bad but then during the night i had a lot of trouble, lets list off everything that went wrong from 9-9 shall we?

1. My nurses name was Ann but she had never seen parks and rec so any and all quotes i threw at her would be pointless.
   
   
   
   
2. I had a fever and crazy headaches all night but there wasnt an order for tylenol so there was nothing they could do but feel bad for me and give me blankets till the doctor came in today.
3. I miss my precious baby puppy.
   
4. They had to draw blood at 4am and couldnt find a vein and had to try a few times before finally getting a good one..in my hand where it hurts the most.

Luckily my fever broke early this morning so im okay now :) Plus my favorite nurse brought me breakfast from Panera and a white chocolate mocha so my morning isnt too bad so far, still tho i fully intend on napping most of the day. I mean, when my mom and Sarah arent here and after i go down to get my picc line placed haha. Happy Monday everyone! 

Clean Out Time

Well its been about 4 months since my last hospitalization which isnt too bad if i do say so myself! But im back :( I came in last night (after a fairly unsuccessful, but still fun, night out at Rush and Division with Allie <3) I had some pretty severe chest pains and a TERRIBLE cough! Not to mention my breathing was shit like usual, ive been trying to kick this cold for over a month now and i guess it finally got the best of me. Sarah took me in to the er around 4 and i got a few breathing treatments, x rays, 2 blood draws, a flow of 4 liters of oxygen, and an iv set up all by 7am. Michelles mom was working in the er so i got to see her shes so sweet im glad she was there! Still i am NOT happy right now!!

So whats the plan??

Ill keep my iv until tomorrow when the surgical team can place a Picc line (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripherally_inserted_central_catheter) and then ill do Tobramyacin and zosyn through there im not sure if theyll add any others but thats all i know of right now, ill stay on 4 liters of oxygen 24/7 unless i have trouble then theyll turn it up to 5-6, and ill get breathing treatments every 4 hours during the day, and hopefully ill get over this cold and it wont turn into pneumonia. Time to get a little sleep ill update daily tho! Love to you all!!
