Let it snow!

IT'S SNOWING!!!

Hoping we get enough and it's the right consistency to sculpt with! I haven't snow sculpted since before transplant, it's time to see what these new lungs can do!!

A few hours later...

I did it!!! The snow was a bit crumbly and wasn't the easiest to work with so I kept it small this time, but I got my snow sculpt on! Meet Snowball the snow cat!

About the Name

Chest PT is one of the most common treatments for CF, in which the chest is pounded on either by hand or using a machine to help break up the congestion and make it easier to cough out. When I was around 13 years old, during one hospitalization I became friends with two other girls who had CF. This was before they knew about the risks of cross-infection, so the three of us spent every day hanging out in each other’s rooms talking and laughing up a storm. Inevitably, the laughter would lead to all three of us launching into massive coughing fits, similar to the effects of chest PT. And so, “Laughter is the best chest PT” quickly became our catchphrase.
