a breath of fresh air...: save lives by becoming an organ donor
http://abreathoffreshair-ekg.blogspot.com/2012/04/save-lives-by-becoming-organ-donor.html
A breath of fresh air. Reflections of a 20-something with cystic fibrosis (CF) pursuing life full speed. one breath at a time. Thursday, April 12, 2012. Save lives by becoming an organ donor. Here's the kicker though. the scenario described above is a best case scenario. the sad truth is that not everyone gets so lucky. far too many people die waiting for lungs or hearts or livers or kidneys that never end up coming for them. In fact, every single day we lose approximately 18 people who are waiting for o...

Once upon a time. Approximately 23 years ago. I was a small child with big brown eyes, straggly brown hair, a fondness for baby dolls,. A sassy attitude and a loving, supportive network of friends and family. Here are some photographs documenting the story of my childhood with CF. It is the story of a childh...

a breath of fresh air...: October 2011
http://abreathoffreshair-ekg.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
A breath of fresh air. Reflections of a 20-something with cystic fibrosis (CF) pursuing life full speed. one breath at a time. Sunday, October 30, 2011. All the fright, but none of the candy. Truthfully, the hardest part for me wasn't the spewing of blood or the gurgling in my chest. those parts i could handle. what really got me was the need to alter my treatments - my key to "success" - and purposefully abstain from the very things that i believe help keep my healthy. that part was absolute...Stop my p...

a breath of fresh air...: some exciting news!
http://abreathoffreshair-ekg.blogspot.com/2011/10/some-exciting-news.html
A breath of fresh air. Reflections of a 20-something with cystic fibrosis (CF) pursuing life full speed. one breath at a time. Tuesday, October 25, 2011. I'm pleased to blog about some very exciting news. today, abbott officially awarded me with the $19,000 "thriving graduate student" scholarship. To say i'm shocked, humbled, honored, thrilled, (nearly) speechless and, shocked again, still fails to adequately express how surreal and, yes, shocking it all feels. Did i have a bad sputum culture? So, for th...

a breath of fresh air...: the "lung infection daze"
http://abreathoffreshair-ekg.blogspot.com/2012/03/lung-infection-daze.html
A breath of fresh air. Reflections of a 20-something with cystic fibrosis (CF) pursuing life full speed. one breath at a time. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. The "lung infection daze". It amazes me the havoc that some uncontrolled bacteria in my lungs can wreak on my whole. Just 4 days ago, i was sitting in the same seat in the same little coffee shop trying to bang out the same measly little midterm for my bioethics mediation class. I'm guessing a lot of you have experienced "lid," too. it's that awful t...

A breath of fresh air. Reflections of a 20-something with cystic fibrosis (CF) pursuing life full speed. one breath at a time. Thursday, September 22, 2011. School, scholarship and a favor. For some reason, when i came home from school that day, i made a decision. who would have thought a 12-year-old decision would have persisted so vigorously for the past 14 years and counting? That day, over my after school snack of handi-snacks-kraft crackers'n cheese dip (those things were the best! This year, in hon...

a breath of fresh air...: when patient info becomes gossip on the tennis court
http://abreathoffreshair-ekg.blogspot.com/2012/06/when-patient-info-becomes-gossip-on.html
A breath of fresh air. Reflections of a 20-something with cystic fibrosis (CF) pursuing life full speed. one breath at a time. Monday, June 18, 2012. When patient info becomes gossip on the tennis court. I need your help. It was recently brought to my attention that a CF doctor revealed to a mutual family friend that he had seen me before. what's more, he shared the negative nature of our clinical encounter. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure that acknowledging my status as a (former) pa...

I'm paddling, so hard, but i'm tired. really freaking tired. Or week of mayhem. or year of chaos. I just need more time. May 1, 2012 at 4:37 PM. I hope youre able to get more sleep!
