My Update

November 8, 2002

Hi Everyone...

I hope this works b/c it hasn't the last several days.I am still in the hospital

battling this nasty infection.The infectious disease guys came today to see what

they can do.

I am bored out of my mind and they are getting upset b/c Im not eating.One I

can't stand the thought of eating hospital food and two I am not hungry.

I am still on 5-6L of 02.

Anyways just wanted to check in with everybody. I want to thank ,and

Grandma Bev for the cards...its the highlight of my day to get mail.I also want

to thank ,Donna,Tricia,Suzi,and Mike for calling.....It was great to talk

to someone.

Poor Brads got the same thing I have and is all stuffy and has one heck of a

soreb throat and coughing up mouthfuls of stuff.They put him on Cipro and

Colisten.OF course Cipro makes him throw up so he spends his mornings throwing

up whatever he just ate.I feel bad he is at home and I am i9n here and I can't

help him.

Anyways...Ihave also been thinking of things I want Younglung to

sponsor.Designing T-Shirts, and thinking of costs that I need to estimate so I

can start looking at grants.I want to create a camp for Kids and Teens with Lung

Diseases (using adults with Chronic Lung Diseases as counselers). Hopefully the

Dream Street Organization can help me with that.Maybe one on the east coast and

one on the west coast. I also was thinking how much I wanted to do an adventure

wildreness camp as a teenager but couldn't b/c of neb treatments,CPT,ect.Well I

wonder if I can get together with a theraputic Wildreness program like the ones

who help wheelchair bound people rock climb,and create a special program for

Teens with Chronic Lung disease...I think it sounds neat anyways.

Anyways....If anyone wants to call or write I'd love to hear from you.
