Stella Grant's Not-So-Secret CF Blog

Hello Everybody! I'm Stella Grant and I have CF. CF makes my lungs weaker than the normal lungs. It is harder for me to breath and there is usually a lot of mucus in my lungs. I can not be near anyone else that has CF or I will die. I also can not go near anyone with any other lung disease or I will die. It is hard  to be six feet apart from those people especially when you are on a floor full of them. My best friend also has CF. We have known each other since we were six and I first started coming here for treatments. My sister Abby introduced us. His name is Poe. Even though we have always stayed six feet apart that does not mean that we stopped being friends. Whenever Poe and I are in the hospital together we video-chat with each other while we eat breakfast. We have always supported each other with everything. And before you even think it no Poe and I are not dating. He has different interests. Poe is the nicest and the most caring friend in the world. I have always been in and out of this hospital. It is like my second home because I know it so well. The hospital knows me well too. Lots of the workers really know me and know that I love being a boss and eating chocolate milkshakes and chocolate pudding. My favorite workers are Barb and Julia. Barb has been taking care of me since I started coming here. She deeply cares for me and really want me to get better. She has been there to squeeze my hand through treatments and helps me get medicine and all my chocolate pudding and chocolate milkshakes Julia is very kind. My dad used to tease her because he always told her she would never have children but today she had the pregnant belly! Congratulations Julia.
Update you about treatments and whats going on in the hospital later!

New Person on the floor/in my life

Meet my new friend Will. He also has CF and B Cepacia. It is hard to get if you are healthy and usually comes for you if you have a weak immune systems or chronic lung diseases. That means that us CFer's definitely have to stay six feet apart because if we do not then we can kiss getting better or getting new lungs good-bye. I have to admit that my first impressions of Will were not that great but it turns out that he is super kind and sweet. We do our treatments together and I have taught him all my secret ways of taking pills. He agrees that taking pills with chocolate pudding is genius and yummy. I have made a plan to help Will get better if it is the last thing that I do. Which might be the last thing I do. Think positive Stella! Anyway, some more fun facts about Will is that he has been to tons of hospitals around the world. His mom desperately wants him to get better so she goes to every hospital that has a new CF curing medicine. Sadly, none of these have worked. ...
