Fundraising Underway

There hasn't been much activity on the blogs this past week so I just wanted to let you all know that there are activities in the works. Rebecca, Jared and I met for a quick brainstorming session and came up with a lot of fun ideas so be on the look out for more info to come!

Also, if you have fundraising ideas of your own please let us know. We are asking for help in leading them but will give you 110% support! Please email Rebecca with your ideas or leave comments so we can contact you.

Reminder: Wednesday June 10th will be our first fundraiser at Chevys - check out the Activities and Events Page for all the details!!!

Update and fundraiser

Ok. So thanks to Nicole :) I changed my most recent posts so that people can make comments on them if they would like! I also added the first activity/fundraiser that will be coming up in just a few short weeks. click on the activities and events portion n the left and it should take you straight to it. Let me know if it doesn't work because I definitely could have posted it wrong. haha. Make sure you print the flier and take it with you otherwise proceeds won't go to Lindsay's funds!

I saw Lindsay today and she looks AWESOME! she is still slowly losing weight so pray that she starts to gain some lbs! I know she's getting bored so even just a phone call will brighten her day!

I hope to see you all at the fundraiser! Im very excited about it!

Dinner with Lindsay

Hey everyone it's Nicole! Last night Penny and I went up to visit with Lindsay, Rebecca and Rachelle. I made Lindsay our special meal of Breaded Chicken and Pesto along with some Pillsbury Crescents! mmmmm! But the special treat of all was the homemade brownies that Penny made (special request by Lindsay!).

After dinner and dessert we decided to look through old photos. And even though it hurt Lindsay to laugh, she just couldn't help it! I think we all laughed so hard, the most laughing done in a long time!!!

It was so great to see Lindsay enjoying herself so much. But what really touched me was the fact that no matter how hard she was laughing she never once went into her coughing spells like she used to. It was such a spectacular moment!

Lindsay's message :)

Hey everyone. So Lindsay emailed me today and asked me to post this blog for her. I hope you all enjoy it! We'll get her a login and password soon so she can post whenever she wants but for now I'm the go to girl :). Enjoy her letter :)

 

Boredom is creeping in!

I called Lindsay today and she sounds great! She said she is doing well but has had a hard time getting comfortable so she can sleep at night. The beds are to low and uncomfortable for her so she'll either sleep in the chair or on the couch :(. I know she can't wait for her nice comfy bed!

She has lost a little weight. She currently weighs 87 pounds. When she went in she weighed 89.9 pounds and after the surgery she gained a few pounds (mostly water retention) so we were  hoping she wouldn't lose any. The doctors estimate she'll lose about 18 pounds...but hopefully she won't lose that much. Anyone who goes and visits her make sure you feed her LOTS! Cassie made lasagna so that'll be good for her and she said she had homemade mac and cheese last night. Yum!

My weekend with Lindz!

Ok. So all of the posts before this one came from our old website. I copy and pasted almost all of them so that everyone could view all of the posts in one place! Most of the posts are from Becca but some are from Lindz, Jared, and Myself. I put the dates on all of the ones that had dates and they go in the order from the newest to the oldest!

So I spent the weekend with Lindz at her aparment in Stanford. It's so amazing how much work it takes the first few weeks after the transplant. I got to her house on Friday and right away I gave her her meds...I think there were 12....made her dinner and then it was time to relax!

What a Day

Pics of the old lungs....GRAPHIC


*Right lung is on the left (2 pieces) Left Lung is on the right*

*White coloring is End Stage CF*

*Pore should be a large hole with no mucus surrounding instead of the small holes you see*

Not such a Good Night
