Hello Sunshine!

We had some great weather this weekend which always makes for great times!We saw the movie Hop (which Seth and I both loved equally) we cooked out, played ball in the yard, brought out the water guns, harassed the dogs with them, walked to the park, played with the neighbors, and even got spiderman ice cream from the ice cream truck! While grilling out Saturday Kevin and Seth played in the "man-cave" and practiced ball in the yard when they came in he said "dad, thanks for the best night of my life". Call me soft but I fought back tears! Thank God for great men and great weather, and of course ice cream trucks :-)

Boogies...Boogies...and more Boogies!!

I am going to blame it on the weather for now since it has ranged form 50 to 79 and mostly over cast and rain the past several weeks. My poor buddy is congested, he has the dark circles under his eyes and post nasal drip at night, he was up from about 4:30 to say 6am then awoke again at 7:15 for school. I have him on every med I can think of, I went and got him a children's night time sleep aid so maybe we could get some much needed rest tonight. Tonight is supposed to be his first baseball practice and I really don't want to make him miss it but I also hate to make him any sicker by running around in the cool air (it's in the mid 60's and breezy today). Grrrrrrrr, somedays it's just really hard being a CF mom.

My brave boy



I was so proud of my beautiful baby boy yesterday, he went was so nervous but refused to drop a tear during either of his blood drawings. His first pft was in the low 80's and they talked about putting in the hospital for IV antibiotics...so I asked them to do them again to be sure. He is still so young it's hard to know whats lung function and what's technic. When his numbers where still low nurse Karen came in to get Kevin and I...Seth said he needed cheer leaders. So we went in to cheer and made him laugh, he then turned to us and said "no, say Seth Seth your the best". So that's what we did and the results were............. 92% twice in a row! It just goes to show we all need someone behind us saying how great we are!!
By the time we made it home we had a message saying that his blood sugar levels were normal.
As much as I have come to HATE that word I was so grateful to hear it!
