Felt great the entire time I was there; walked 5-10 miles a day and worked 20 hour days up until election day. Got home felt great ... then, bam. Pneumonia. I knew by the pain I had it bad, too. What was most frustrating was the fact that I had to tell my teachers that I will need more leeway with assignments, after they had been so incredibly accommodating to work around my Obama schedule. So far so good, though. Unfortunately, I spent a good two weeks in the hospital only to watch my numbers tailspin and was discharged the night before Thansksgiving with an FEV1 hovering around 28%. (PICC still in place just in case...) Right now, I'm currently on prednisone until Wednesday where we'll discuss options. Hopefully, my FEV bounces back. Truly disturbing to see them slope downward during an admission... Man, CF can really be a giant pain in the ass sometimes!Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436230086834251893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-50453384925162886202008-11-27T12:22:00.000-05:002008-11-27T12:22:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday Piper.

I'll try again....<BR/>I'm sending good vibes and prayers your way. I hope that after your leave of absence, you will feel 100 times stronger and there will be no stopping you. Sometimes our bodies just tell us "that's enough", and it sounds like your's is for the time being. Hang in there and enjoy this month of rest. :)Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257412116217529657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-2706857939398835272008-11-22T13:53:00.000-05:002008-11-22T13:53:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.cheahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715858131696225944noreply@blogger.com
