Yesterday was a loooong day of filming for the CFF! We started out at my house with personal interviews about life with CF and waiting for transplant, then moved on to the hospital where I had appointments with both my vascular surgeon and my CF doctor. The filming finally wrapped up with some "B roll" footage of my sister's art gallery o ...

Unplanned rest day
by

My wife and I both had long days at work yesterday. Neither of us was really in the mood to go to the gym. So, my wife suggested going out for dinner instead. My son was tired from staying up too late the night before, so it was just my wife and my daughter and I. We enjoyed some nice food, a nice bottle of Cakebread's 2007 Sauvignon Blanc, and ...

Kendall G.
Dear Coach Kris: I have this little race thingy coming up. I'm told there's a 2.4 mile swim, a bike segment of 112 miles, and then a marathon, 26 miles 385 yards.

I'm still confused and waiting for more info. Some of the tests are highly specialized and will take up to a month for results. Ava's discharge summery is this: "19 month old fe ...

by
Greg H.
It's been a while. I have been too busy to keep my postings up to date, but plan to be better about it. Lots of stuff going on. I have been slacking on the running, so I wasn't sure how I would fare as a first-time runner of Baz Hawley's"magical" Saddleback Trail Marathon. I had never run it before but have volunteered at the race, which ...

Speed (ahem!) work
by

One easy, one hard, one easy, one hard, one easy. It sounded so simple. I was tired from my Tuesday weight workout, but not too bad. My first mile was a net uphill and it took me 10:35. No big deal. Then, my hard mile took 8:05! It was hard. It wasn't fast. My third mile was slower than my first. My fourth mile was slower than my second. ...

There’s a bottle of pred with my name on it.
by
Danielle L
Prednisone it is, then. I know that’s the right decision, I realize that if I don’t then my day will be ending in the ER or curled up on the floor of my room. Not to sound all scary and morbid, but that is the current reality. As long as the pred does its job, then I will be good as new very soon If it doesn’t, I’ll take c ...
