Victoria's Victory: Flash Me Friday

Flash Me Friday - dishes

This week is about your dishes. Mine are Corelle. I love them. Durable and lightweight.

I love the Ivy pattern. We used to have 16 oz glasses that matched, but I think we broke them all in the first 6 months we had these dishes. So now we have plastic restaurant style cups from a restaurant supply place. (Thanks Dad)

Victoria's dishes are rather plain, but she likes them. I just wish we had more 4oz plastic cups for her.

Our cabinets are much the same. Just functional. And we don't own any china. The fanciest we get are our Winter/Christmas dishes. (Thanks to M-I-L & F-I-L)

My daughter has Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis is a life-shortening genetic disease that causes mucus in the body to be unusually thick & sticky affecting many parts of the body including the respiratory system, digestive tract, and reproductive system. The thick sticky mucus in the lungs can provide germs a prime breeding ground for infections. Cystic Fibrosis doesn't affect the immune system, but the thick sticky mucus is harder to move and can make infections much more difficult to clear.

Most people with cystic fibrosis are pancreatic insufficient (PI) and need to take digestive enzymes with every meal. Being PI makes it difficult to gain weight and often results in needing to eat 150% calories of normal. Over half of people with CF eventually develop CFRD (Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes). While sharing some traits with Type I and Type II diabetes, it is distinctly different.

CF affects approximately 30,000 people in the USA (70,000 worldwide).

65 Roses is another name for Cystic Fibrosis because some children find it easier to say although that doesn't make it any easier to have. My daughter has no such difficulty. But there is a story behind the phrase.
