is a miracle drug.  I’ve gained back seven pounds since I was discharged from the hospital; nearly a pound a week since I started the medicine a month ago.  I came home at a whopping ninety-six pounds; I was skin and bones.

I know a lady isn’t supposed to tell her weight, but this is cause for celebration - I’m back at one-hundred and three, and continuing to gain.  The excitement isn’t just stemming from fitting back into my old jeans (though it is nice to have a quasi figure again…) but more from the fact that weight gain coincides with an increase in lung function, and that my friends, is priceless.

So, for any CF patients out there struggling with their weight: a burrito a day works wonders for weight gain.  And sometimes two burritos is even better…
