Laurie's Layout Livin' & Craftin' with Cystic Fibrosis: February 2009

Some stuff about me

These are a few things about me, my life, family and interests. I love scrapbooking & sharing with my online groups and all of the gals there, they are so kind & helpful. I wish I could be more involved, I regret letting life get by so quickly, now that I am sick (just diagnosed at age 42 with cystic fibrosis!) I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I've always just lived for the moment and I hope the memories I leave will be fond to all of those that have known me. With 27% lung capacity revised.... 23% left I have had to face the harsh reality of mortality and death; "it is what it is" as the saying goes. I am just thankful for everyday that I am blessed with. I could hope for nothing more, just knowing I was loved by my children in my life brings my heart happiness. Add on...I'm going on a cruise April 2010 Lord willin'! Please pray for me that I can remain healthy enough to make a once in a lifetime trip! xx-oo

Unwell

I can't call anyone or im or anything, I hope some people read this, especially friends and family. I am at St Joe Med Center with my new CF drs I had a severe attack last night and began coughing up blood this morning. Well, my daughter and in-laws came and I began coughing up cups of it! I know I freaked them all out, Amanda left the room and came back. (she had been crying) They left soon after, it's scary and I hate that it is hurtful to everyone around me! I just pray God keeps his hands over us all through this. I am scared and I need to pray for comfort in knowing God has his hands over us. I hate seeing Amanda and everyone so freaked out. I love you Ronnie, if you are reading this you will have to call me. 237 7122
