A Little Bit Of This And That

I am happy to report that this year has been grand! I am the healthiest I have ever been since I graced this world. I have spent 310 hours hooked up to my percussion vest since about this time last year. That's almost 6 hours a week for one entire year. All this restraint to get the mucus shaken around in my lungs in order to keep the yucky bacterias from settling in there. And don't forget the multitude of breathing treatments, enzymes and vitamins to boot. All of these preventative measures seem to be doing the job and keeping me in tip top shape. I have my last pulmonologist and short gut doctor visits for this year on December 15th. I will report back on how those two appointments turn out. Please cross your fingers that the pseudomonas aeruginosa has stayed away and I don't need to return to my TOBI breathing treatments. I have thoroughly enjoyed the break from those. It has given me more time to be the crazy, silly, 2 year old I love to be.

This fall/winter I have been enjoying the holiday festivities and parties. Here is a photo summary of the last month and half.

Here I am as a tiger on Halloween.

Already trying to kiss the girls (my friend Brooke):


Mom took me to Chicago to visit one of her BFF, my aunt Lo. I loved riding the "L".


The Chicago Diner. A vegan friendly diner which was great for my dairy allergy. I had this awesome vegan carrot cake! Yum!

The Counter restaurant eating some delicious, high calorie, deep fried onion strings and sweet potato fries.

I really loved Chicago!

Next post I will share my pictures I had taken with Santa Claus and my doctor appointment details. Until next time...

Peace and Love,
