I've been a little slow on updating because my hospital appointment was on Christmas Eve last week so we were busy preparing for Christmas after.
Mum took me there for my appointment at 9:40am. First I saw Jackie and she did my obs and lung function. Unfortunately, even after two weeks of Iv's and physio I still had a cold and the lung function had only improved by 9% so was up to 58%. So I was expecting to have my Iv's extended for another week.
Dr. Ho came in a while after and spoke to me about my lungs. He said the Iv's are obviously not clearing the infection and are just making my lungs less infected when on Iv's but as soon as they finish the infection fights back again. He said Iv's may not always be the best for an infection and it could simply be to do more physio and try and fight it. So instead of an extension on my Iv's, he stopped them and told me to go back to my Bramitob instead of the Promixin in my puffer. Then everyday an hour before physio, to do my DNASE nebuliser and when I do my physio treatment he told me to use hypertonic saline in the BiPAP machine instead of normal water. I wasn't happy about this as hypertonic makes me loose my voice but I agreed to try it anyway.
After my hospital appointment, mum took me back to work but I was only working until 4 as we closed early for Christmas.
When I got home from work on Christmas Eve, I had a really bad headache and my voice went all croaky! I couldn't blame it on the hypertonic saline as I hadn't even started it yet. So I took some tablets and tried to feel better as we had people over for Christmas drinks. Once I had the last dose of Iv's, mum took the port needle out and I went and had a bath as I still wasn't feeling well. Any CFer knows how good it feels to be able to have a proper bath once the port needle is out! After my bath, everyone had left so the five of us watched some telly and then went to bed ready for Christmas.
CHRISTMAS
On Christmas morning, for the first year ever, we didn't get up early! I woke up at 8am but mum said the night before we weren't getting up until 10am. So I went back to sleep, although I heard mum up anyway but I couldn't be bothered to get up haha! At about 9:45am I had been awake for a while so was about to get up when Abbi texted me anyway asking if I was awake. So we got up, woke George up and took our stockings into mum and dad's room to open as we do this every year. In my stocking I got make-up, Shake Away milkshake vouchers, Disney trivia game, chocolate and lots of little bits. Then once we had done our stockings, we had to get three Disney trivia questions correct each before we could go downstairs.
Before opening our presents, I did my puffer and we all had some breakfast. By this point it was about 10:30am haha! Usually we are all done opening by then! I got lots of cool presents; hair dryer, katie price book, clothes, perfume, ted baker bag, ted baker bath set, Tinie Tempah Demonstration signed vinyl, sweets, Disney CD, Just Dance 2014, Pyjamas and lots more. Then we did our main presents and I got a gold Iphone 5S!! I was spoilt! Thanks Mum and Dad :D.
We then showered, tidied away all of our presents and had our roast turkey dinner which was lovely!! After this we played games all evening which ended up going on until about 12:30am!
On Boxing day we had the family and boyfriends round; Grandma, Grandad, Uncle Tim, Auntie Selina, Chloe, Adam, Max and Adam (Abbi's boyfriend). George was working until the evening so Ben didn't come round either. Before all the family arrived I did my presents with Max and he got me my birthstone Pandora ring and lots of other little bits which was lovely. Then when the family arrived it was lunch and then more games! Including Just Dance, Table football and then back to the board games! It was a great day but over so quickly!
On Friday, I booked it off work so spent the day with Max. We went shooping in Basingstoke Sales in the morning which was a bit of a disaster as we didn't really end up buying anything! Then we went back to his for the afternoon/evening and spent it with his family
I had a great Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

Less than 2 months!
I haven't even been off of Iv's 2 months and I'm back on them again! Brilliant :(!
On Tuesday I had an appointment at Frimley at 11:40am. So mum came and picked me up from work and drove us there. I was already feeling rubbish and had been since the weekend as I have a cold, plus my cough hasn't been great again so I was expecting my lung function to be rubbish. But that was also because I have not been doing physio as much as I should be.
When we arrived Jackie did my obs and my lung function. Like I say I was expecting my lung function to be rubbish but was very shocked when my results read just 49%! That's the lowest it's ever been. Mum said the cold probably didn't help that but still I wasn't happy and knew I'd be told I needed Iv's.
When Dr.Higton came in and saw me she said straight away that she thinks Iv's would be the best option to get me well for Christmas. (Just in time though as the Iv's would finish on Christmas eve!). But I didn't want to be on more Iv's after less than two months. So she said we could try some orals for a few weeks and if they don't work I would then have to have Iv's anyway. But mum was saying how she was off work for the next 10 days so I may as well have the Iv's now as she will be at home to help me. So I decided to go with the Iv's although I was not best pleased about it. I told Dr.Higton I didn't want to be on lots of antibiotics though as I wanted to still be able to go to work and last time it tired me out being on more antibiotics! So I've got Ceft twice a day and Toby once a day which isn't to bad as they can be done at 6 in the evening so no late nights and 6 in the morning which means I can still go to work.
Once I had my first dose of each antibiotic, I rung work and told them I was on Iv's again and they said to not worry about coming back until tomorrow as it was already 3 o'clock, so me and mum went home.
On Wednesday, I woke up feeling rubbish because of this cold. So mum rang up work and said I wouldn't be in after all. But they were fine with it and have shortened my hours while I'm on Iv's.
So me and mum have been back on the physio to get my lung function up again and hopefully these Iv's shift this cold in time for Christmas day!

November :)
I'm getting worse and worse at updating my blog! I keep forgetting as it takes time and I can never find the time to sit down and do it!
I now have the time though as I'm off work ill today :(. I went to bed last night with a jacket on as I was freezing cold and couldn't warm up. Then woke up this morning feeling hot, went and washed my hair and came back to my room, I coughed once and then was sick! Brilliant :(! So now I'm back in bed with a stomach ache.
Going back to when the blog was last updated takes us back to the end of October so I'll go from the Halloween party!!
On Friday 1st November we decided to have a fancy dress Halloween party after Jenny jokingly asked mum if we could have a party a few weeks before. So mum invited her friends and I also had a few people over. However, it wasn't just your average fancy dress party, dad decided to go a little OTT with doing the house up! It took him ten hours! We couldn't see the original walls of the house as it was so decorated!
It was a really good night and everyone enjoyed themselves. On Saturday it took dad just as long to clear up than it did to set up haha!
On Sunday 3rd November me and my cousin Chloe went to watch the Radio One Teen Awards at Wembley Arena. It is for 13-17 year olds only so I decided I'd go to see what it was like as it was the last year I could go and because Tinie was performing so I couldn't miss it!! Of course Tinie was AMAZING! He closed the show once we had seen the awards and watched Jessie J, Rizzle Kicks, James Arthur, Icona Pop and Fall Out Boy perform. They were really good but I didn't properly get into it until Tinie came on where I just went crazy like I always do when watching him live haha. Everyone must have thought I was mad! Although everyone was pretty hyper especially when a thank you video of One Direction came on the screens. You couldn't even hear what they were saying as the crowd were screaming so loud!
When dad came to pick us up it was really busy along the roads so me and Chloe just walked until we found where he said he was! When we finally nearly found him, we walked around the back of Wembley and saw loads of teenagers waiting for the celebs to come out. But decided it would be better to find dad as we had been looking for him for ages now. When we got in the car we heard loads of people screaming and when we pulled forward a car with blacked out windows pulled up behind us. The window went down on the car and somebody screamed 'it's Tinie Tempah' but I was too much of a wimp to get out and see him in case he didn't recognise me. But he liked my video on Instagram of me singing to Miami to Ibiza so must have watched that!
Then on Monday 4th November Tinie's new album 'Demonstration' came out. I preordered it off of his website and when I did this it said he would be signing 100 random copies so I might receive one and guess what... When I got home from work on Monday and opened the album it was a signed copy!!! I was so excited. I instagrammed a photo and tagged Tinie saying 'you must have told them to send me one' and he commented a wink face so he must have done!
On Thursday 7th November it was Sian's 19th Birthday so I did my usual and let off a balloon for her to receive up in heaven. I watched it disappear right into the clouds. Xxx
It was also Tinie's 25th Birthday so I instagrammed him a photo and he commented saying thanks. It's like we are friends haha!
On Saturday 9th November me and Max went to Wade's house as his mum had organised a surprise party for him as his birthday was also Thursday. It was a good night and really good to see the boys and Wade's family.
The follwing Friday (15th November) was Lisa's 18th Party in Newbury. I went with Max, Greg and Tom and we met the others there. It was good to see the college group and Lisa of course!
Then finally on the Saturday me, Mum and Dad went to the Ideal Homes Show at Earls Court. It was so busy! We got a few christmas presents for people and I got to meet Amy Childs as she was doing signings at her stall.
Sorry if I bored you but I hadn't done an update in a while!

A little bit of good news!
As you know the ivs finally finished on Tuesday!
Me and mum went up to the hospital for my appointment at 11:40am where Sam came and did my weight and lung function and finally... I'm at the weight I've been working towards for about 3 years! 50kg!!! It was back when I was at the Royal Brompton when I was about 14 that Dr.Rosenthal told me I had to get up to 50kg or I'd need a feeder. Well I've done okay without one this many years so I won't be needing one of those!
The lung function was 75% so only 1% more since last time. But it's good that it's staying up in the 70's!!
Dr Higton then came in and said she was really impressed and to keep the physio up and she'd see me in 4 weeks time.
Yay all good news!!

Home Sweet Home
Yay I'm home!! Well I have been for a week tomorrow but have only just got round to blogging so sorry for the late update!
Last Monday morning, I was woke up at 8am by Julie with my breakfast- a fry up! Although, after having fry ups every day for nearly a week I was not very excited to eat it.After my fry up I got up and did my medicine and DNase ready for when the physiotherapist comes round at about 11. I was expecting the doctors to be round at 9:30 so I played Mario Kart until then but there was no sign. My Tobramycin was due at 10am so I couldn't even go for a bath yet. Once that was finally finished at 10:30, I went for a bath and did my hair and put on a little bit of make up too make myself look less rough in the hope that I could go home.
The physio (I forgot her name as there is so many) came about 11:15 and we did a session on my BiPAP machine with percussions and managed to clear my chest.
The doctor then finally came around at 11:30 and had a chat with me. He told me he had spoke to Dr.Higton and ideally they would like me to stay until Wednesday as it was better medically, but it was up to me if I wanted to go home. I explained to him that I could do everything I was doing here at home and that the lung function had improved which is what they wanted to monitor over the weekend. He then said he didn't want it to go downhill again when I got home so I explained that no physiotherapists were even in at the weekend so I did the physio myself which obviously had an impact as my lung function was 74%! Of course with my explanations and knowing my own health he allowed me to go home.. wooooo!!
Judith came in at about 3 o'clock, once mum had arrived, and did an order for my home Ivs to be delivered However, they wouldn't be delivered until Tuesday morning so I would miss my evening dose of meds. On Tuesday we waited in for the IV order to arrive which was due to come between 10-12. At 12:10 there were still no sign of Ivs so mum gave the company a call and they said they didn't realise the driver was running late so would get back to us. At 12:30 they called back and said they were trying to track the order so would call us again when they knew. (Bare in mind by now I have also missed the morning dose of meds). We didn't hear from them again, so at 1:30 mum called up feeling quite cross and explained the order was over an hour and half late and that now I have missed another dose. They explained the order had been lost and it would now not be with us until 5:30 as it comes from Cheshire. Mum was really cross that one, we had to wait in and delay our plans and two, that I had missed yet another dose!
So we went to town and did a bit of shopping and then came back in time for the delivery. Once it came we attached an Iv and mum changed around the times of the meds so I would be able to go to work.
On Wednesday, I went into work and saw Sarah who did a risk assessment to check it would be okay to come to work and that I wasn't putting myself or the children at risk. Luckily, it was all fine and I was back to work on Thursday. It was a lovely welcome back, the staff all cheered and I had babies cuddling me and shouting my name. I received a lovely get well card signed individually by each baby and staff member.
I over did it a bit on Thursday though and got back into the routine too quick and managed to tire myself out! After work, I had a driving lesson and then a hair appointment and by the time all this was done I found myself in bed thinking what a busy day!
It feels good to be back on my toes and well again though. The Ivs finish on Tuesday and I've got a clinic appointment then to check I'm all okay. So will update you when I know! I've got to go back and do my apprenticeship work now.

Good Lungs!
After a really boring physiotherapy filled week (well 6 days so far) my lung function has finally improved from 57% to 74% YAY! I am so happy! If this is just 6 days worth of physiotherapy and Ivs I'd like to know if my lung function is going to go up by any more for the next 8 days that I have left on Ivs.
After writing my last post 'Ivs' back on Wednesday I later found out the Teicoplanin was carrying on for the next two weeks but for once a day instead which would be at 6am. This meant the Tobramycin couldn't be done at 6am as I can't have 3 antibiotics all at the same time one after another. All a bit confusing but basically I am on 3 different Ivs, 5 times a day. Ceftazidime and Teicoplanin at 6am, Tobramycin at 10am, Ceftazidime at 2pm then Ceftazidime again at 10pm. Then on top of all these Ivs, I have physio sessions at 11am and 3pm when Jo or another physiotherapist comes round and does some percussion while I breathe on my BiPAP machine.
So when you think hospital is just a time to relax because you're ill, its not all that easy!
In between my 3pm and 10pm Iv and physio sessions I have been allowed home for a few hours each day which has got me through this week a little bit easier.
Max came and saw me on Wednesday as he only had one lesson at college and he turned up about 1:30pm with a Mcdonalds for me (except I didn't eat it where I felt crap), then once the Ivs and physio were done we came home for a few hours. Dad then dropped me back in the evening.
On Thursday Mum and Dad were both working and Max had a full day at college, so Abbi came and saw me for a few hours and we went out to Costa and Mcdonalds but I actually ate it this time! I only had a chicken mayo as dinner was waiting for me back at the hospital. Dad then arrived so Abbi left and he stayed with me until Eastenders had finished.
Friday was the doctor's round and I was hoping to be told I could go home... but no, they said I had to stay until Monday as they want to check my Lung Function has improved. Which clearly it has! So Dad came and collected me after my 2pm Ivs. A different physiotherapist was on who only comes round once a day so I had to do my other session myself which I did in the evening. Max then came over in the afternoon, once he had finished college, and me and him went out to the Beach Arms Carvery which was lovely! Mmmm Roast Turkey, my favourite. After that we came home and chilled for a few hours before going back to hospital for my 10pm Ivs and for a Mario Kart Wii race!
Saturday Dad couldn't pick me up until 4pm after his golf lesson so I watched a movie until he arrived. When I got home I had a nice hot bath- well I say nice, anyone with CF who has a port that is accessed knows how difficult it is to bath without dropping your tube in or getting the dressing wet! Mum came home about 6:30pm and we ordered a Nandos Takeaway. All these fastfoods and takeaways makes me sound really unhealthy, but again anyone with CF will know how boring hospital food gets! I've had fry-ups every morning and I tell you, I'm bored of them!
Then there's today, Sunday, Dad picked me up at 2pm as Sweetie did the Ivs early so I could be at home for longer. The physiotherapists don't come at weekends so I did my BiPAP machine before dad arrived. So since being at home I have completed my Apprenticeship work as I have missed lots due to not being at the nursery this week and can't attend my training tomorrow and now I'm updating this for you people who are kind enough to read it! I've got to have more bloods done tonight, for the 3rd time this week, to test my Tobramycin levels to make sure everything is okay which mum will do before we head back to the hospital tonight. I'm driving us back tonight in my car as I haven't been out in a while!
I hope to be told by Dr.Ho I can finally come home tomorrow and finish the next week of Ivs here. So fingers crossed he says yes as my lung function has improved! I'll update you all tomorrow

IV's
Last night wasn't too bad, I was started on Teicoplanin and I didn't react.. Woohoo! Dad came to visit me once he had finished work and brought me a Domino's pizza with potato wedges and cookies. Then he stayed and watched Eastenders with me. That's basically what my whole day consisted of, watching telly and laying in bed. BORING!
I woke up at about 4am having the worst coughing fit ever :(. At least it shows the antibiotics are already kicking in though! Then at 6am Sue came in and started me on some Ceftazidime and gave me another dose of Teicoplanin.
I will be having Ceftazidime 3 times a day at 2pm, 10pm and 6am and have one more dose of Teicoplanin tonight at 8pm. Then tomorrow I will be started on Tobramycin which will be once a day at 6am before the Ceftazidime.
I've been up showered and dressed since about 10am and now I'm so bored! Luckily, Max is coming to visit me later though.
This blog post is pretty boring but was just a quick update of what IV's I'm on.

I will be having Ceftazidime 3 times a day at 2pm, 10pm and 6am and have one more dose of Teicoplanin tonight at 8pm. Then tomorrow I will be started on Tobramycin which will be once a day at 6am before the Ceftazidime.
I've been up showered and dressed since about 10am and now I'm so bored! Luckily, Max is coming to visit me later though.
