Meghan is at CHaD for two weeks. Her lung functions are down and running a slight fever now. So she is getting IV meds and lots of extra physical therapies. More to come.

Cool Pics of happiness

Is this cool or what. My friend was there.

Good Fun

Good times with my friends from Maine. When

was the last time you had a good old pillow fight?

Try it it is fun.

This is my friend Dennis Walters and his new friend Bucky. Isn't he cute? I can't wait to see him. You can google Dennis Walters.

Hi All
No real news to report. Meghan is fighting a cold. We go to clinic on the 26th. We will have lung
funcitons and weight checks then and hopefully won't end up at CHaD.

Meghan thinks this if funny

Meghan thinks it is funny when I try to move this 389 pound TV by myself. It is only triple my weight. Anyways she had me enter a contest on The Ellen show to win a new flat screen TV.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Happy New Year

Hi

Happy New Year everyone. We hope this year brings good things to you all. Last year was quite a year for Meghan. You can look back thru the blog and see all that she got to do, thanks to so many loving people. We got travel and meet some fabulous people. We hope this year brings everyone good health and happiness. Meghan says remember to smile at someone you don't know everyday. It just might make their day. She says a smile can make a world of difference and if we all smile more than there will be less grouchy people in the world. Pretty simple.

Love to all.

Happy New Year. Let's make this a great one.

POWER IS BACK

YAHOO!!!!!!!!!! Our power is back on. 5 days without power is a major challenge for Meghan.



Especially needing nebulizers, overnight feeds, and TV.



Thank goodness for a generator. We had our pellet stove, fridge, tv, and nebs hooked up to it.



Plus we had some friends come and stay with us as they had nothing. So all in all it was ok.

Meghan wants to help other kids.

Hi

Meghan wants to help other kids. She wants to make either a scarf, a blanket, or a pillow. So if you know of anyone that is getting rid of fabrics, yarns, pillow stuffings have them send them our way. She thought of this because when she has been in the hospital she has been given hand made blankets and they helped calm her so much and now she wants to give too.

Thanks for your time.

CF Clinic Visit

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lung Functions 92% and weight is up too.

This is great news. Meghan is very happy. She has been working really hard to get her weight up and with the lung functions back in the 90's it makes life alot easier. I am sure she will get more colds and we know there may be another visit to hotel CHaD this season but we also know it really helps. So Thank YOU CHaD. YOU ROCK. I just can't say enough about the nurses there. There are four that really made and still make a difference in Meghan. Becky, Megan, Jess, and Michael. Too bad two of them are traveling nurses. CHaD if you are listening you really need to do whatever it takes to keep them here. They are tremendous with all kids.

I figured out how to get the videos up on my blog. Here is me tapping in NYC. I am in the jeans on the right of the screen

Finally I got the video of my nurse pulling the firetruck I love it. 50 feet in 51 seconds. Leave me a comment to tell me what you think.
