As some of you may know I have a lung disease called cystic fibrosis, and the way they monitor your lungs is have you blow into a machine and rate your lungs on a scale of 1 to 100. My seventh grade year was the last year I was in the 90's, and last year they got down to 59 and my weight was 139 and im 5 10. Well i've been getting better, and today I blew at 91, and my weight was about 180!!!!! Im so excited this is one of the greatest days ever, we used to joke about me getting back into the 90's when I slowly started getting better saying "Well if you can jump from 70 to 73 I bet you can get to 90," and I did it! My doctors told me it couldn't be done without iv antibiodics and hospital visits, and I proved them wrong (knock on wood). Well am just very excited, and my parents will probably throw me a party so I thought i'd share!

 

Way to go Ben. I knew that you had a problem just didnt know what it was. Just to let you know I took 1st place at the track friday night at the track against the white 350Z that I lost to the last time I went to the finals about 2 months ago.

 

Thats good man. Not sure what the 90's and stuff mean but im guessing its good lol.

 

congrats man. i hope that you continue to recover

Way to go man, keep up the fight. I went through something similar with my Hepatitis C battle, and I know the joy of recovery. I'm happy for you and wish you all the best.
