More Goodbyes

Tuesday was the day when I made a huge transition. It was a jump from a place where I have visited often since I first moved to Utah when I was 9 years old. This was my last trip to the CF Clinic at Primary Children's Hospital. I had the most incredible doctors and nurses up there that have helped me since I was a young girl. I would not be who I am today (or even at this place in my life) without their help and patience with my stubborn moments. Even though I wasn't fond of being poked about every time I went up, being told I had 3 staff infections in my lungs, being placed on steroids, feeling ill after annual tests to see if I had diabetes, or being told I had to be in the hospital for 2 weeks, (ok, I won't go on any more. It's just life), I am so grateful for all the times they have helped me grow as they have taught me the importance of caution, determination, and responsibility. They told me I have grown and are proud of my hard work, but they contribute so much and never stop giving their love and support to all their patients. It is very exciting to move on, but hard to say goodbye to my cheerleaders and best support group I could ask for. I hope that any CF patient who is under their care realizes how amazing they are!

     So now that I am almost done with high school and moving on to college and exciting chapters of my life, it's time to go to the adult clinic. After the clinic visit my mom and I quickly stopped by the new clinic at the U, and holy cow it is different than it was! The halls used to be the pits, and now it is remodeled and feels much better.

It kind of looks like a nice shopping mall, if you ask me :)

And speaking of more goodbyes, today was also our traditions assembly. I am absoulutely exhausted because I woke up at 5 am to be at school by 6:15 to practice a 30 second dance based off fiddler on the roof, but I am glad it's over with :) The SBOs boogied with recaps from their skits last year, and two guys came on stage whipping their hair like wild animals all around to "I whip my hair back and forth." But it was very entertaining and I believe I got a good ab workout from laughing. There were a few awards given out to outstanding students and the stud gov was recognized and we recieved our plaques. They also showed a video of us singing to the graduation song by vitamin c, and for some reason I decided to pretend I was crying as if I was very sad we were leaving high school, but I looked like a complete fool because everyone thought I really was crying and I was being sarcastic...but I will try to not embarrass myself like that again and luckily it will never be shown again :)  They introduced the new SBOs with the candle ceremony, and I know they will have buckets of fun and I hope they enjoy their senior year. I am just too antsy to graduate and am counting down the days
