Set Me Free!!!

I am free, I am free, tell the world that I am free!!!! I'm so thankful for the time I spent in the hospital as I have increased my lung function and I am back to the point where I can start kicking CF's butt OUTSIDE of these walls! Starting Monday, I get to start in on my routine and I am so so so thankful for that. What are you guys thankful for today???

I'm super thankful that my daughter Shaelin avoided a PICC line for Christmas. She blew some of her best numbers ever on Tuesday and established a new baseline!! It took 2 months of two different oral antibiotics, and lots and lots of therapy, but she did it!! I am also thankful that she has a big brother that totally understands her and was so excited to see her new PFT numbers. They share a bond they will never have with anyone else.
I am so very thankful for the children that God has given us. I can't even put into words how much I love them. I always used to roll my eyeballs at those who said that you'd never know a love like that of loving your child. Yeah, yeah...yaddda, yadda, yadda...but geez, they were so right. Since having children, our lives have changed completely. I can't believe there was a point in time where we actually considered NOT having kids. I'll keep this short just by saying that having kids saved me from myself and having kids with CF has made me a much better parent - and for THAT I am so thankful.
I am so thankful for people like Ronnie and Mandi who so openly share their journey with CF. What an inspiration they are!! Am so excited for you two as you plan your wedding and your life together! :)
yesss. welcome home!! enjoy christmas ronnie with mandi!
i totally am on your wave length about "there are always worse things" life's to short to sweat the small stuff!
have a great holiday!
Ronnie...welcome home! You are so right about there always being someone who has it worse! I took my sister and her baby to Riley hopital for Children on Monday. The baby had to get his eyes checked because the pediatrician thought he might have a cataract in one of his eyes. (He didn't..thank goodness) While in the waiting room, there was a little girl, maybe 3 years old sitting there. Her hair was growing back...I'm sure she had had chemo or was still going through it, and it was obvious that she had had some kind of eye surgery. In that moment, I wanted to cry, because I felt so bad for ever feeling sorry that my son has CF. I felt like you, that I was so thankful that he has CF, and not cancer, or some other horrible disease. That poor little girl and her mother must be going through something I could never imagine. So...long story short......I am so thankful for my family, friends and for anything life throws my way. Thankful Thursday is a great idea!
