Also, I reached and surpassed my goal! One of my amazing cf doctors made a generous donation. Thank you Dr. Hajiliadis! My school district is supporting the cf efforts as well with a “Jeans for Genes” dress down day. Teachers love wearing jeans to work. Let’s keep the momentum going!

I am still blown away a week later. Last week, I sat on a CF Panel with a CHOP doctor, Dr. Ren, a loving parent, Buzz, and such a supportive younger sister of cf warrior. I loved talking about my experiences with cystic fibrosis and how much has changed in the 31 years living with it. I truly enjoyed being an advocate for us adult cfers, who are thriving with this unknown territory due to all the medical advantages. Some of the topics were: drug research and how it has developed and impacted the cf community; what CFF is doing to reach a cure; how various family members offer different perspectives of how they see cf and how it impacts their everyday lives; what is the future for adults living with cf, starting their own families; how cf transplant patients need to continue to advocate for themselves in light of Tricafta due to the new generation of cfers not having the same experiences. There is still so much work that needs to be done and I feel it needs to start to shift to adult cfers. We are reaching new milestones each day and truly beating their statistics. I am so overwhelmed with the immense amount of pride to have “our time” be now! We Are Warriors💜

The photo you have all been waiting for! So glad the rain held off💜

#motivationalmonday This picture is from last summer when my husband and I went out early one morning fishing. I am sharing this because I was able to wake up at 5am, not having to do treatments and only have to take my medicine (which are only pills) at 7am, and walk out the door. This wouldn’t have happened 5 years ago. The fact that I (and other cf patients) are able to wake up and go with minimal treatments is because of your donations and constant drive to help cf stand for Cure Found. 💜

Thank you to Aunt Joanne and Uncle Jim, Jes Talarico, and Anita for donating towards my campaign. 💜

Thank you to The Groff Family, the anonymous donor, and Kathleen Barr. I am truly blown away by all the support and love you all have shown so far. We have made it over $1000! 💜

Thank you to Aunt Joan, Aunt Cathy, and Uncle George for donating towards my campaign. We are getting closer each day 💜

Happy International Women’s Day! To the two amazing women, Donene and Christina, thank you for donating to my campaign 💜

Is Tablet Tuesday a thing? The medicine on the right is called #trikafta and it’s is a cystic fibrosis medication. It was released in 2019. It has done wonders for many cfers. However it is not a cure all drug and many cf mutations are still waiting for their miracle drug to help with their symptoms. I, myself, started trikafta a month before my transplant and chose to have the surgery because my lungs were to far gone to have this medicine really make an improvement. My doctors and I felt that it would just prolong me from receiving a double lung transplant. Since Jan 2020, I spend a small part of my Saturday evenings making up my weekly pill container. Each day I take about 22 pills. That is a simple trade for the challenges that I was facing daily. With your donation, you could help the @cf_foundation get closer to finding a miracle drug that helps all mutations as well as a step closer towards a cure.

Wow! Blown away! $500 closer to our goal. Special shout out to Aunt Renee, Mrs. Conway, The Bon Family, and Alyson. Onto the next $500 💜

#thursdaystruths sponsored by @motts 🤣 Cystic fibrosis patients can also develop cf related diabetes for when their body doesn’t produce enough insulin. In my case, I had steroid induced diabetes due to my double lung transplant. I was able to be taken off my insulin 6 months post transplant. However, since I went through fertility treatments, to be able to make embryos with my husband, my sugar levels have increased again due to the hormones. This is an ugly truth of cf. As patients, we may have one thing under control while other symptoms keeps us on our toes. To help support research efforts: donate and help spread the word. Any dollar amount helps! #cysticfibrosis #workout #doublelungtransplant #diabetes #fertility #ivfjourney #surrogatejourney #mottsapplejuice #sugarlevels #dexcom #phillysfinest #cysticfibrosisawareness #cfsucks
