Summer struggles & bright spots- Let’s talk about both!
🌞Summer can be a tough season with pulmonary hypertension(PH), from heat and travel fatigue to juggling appointments, it’s not always picture-perfect. But sometimes there are bright spots too.💜
Let’s talk about this!
- Have you found ways to stay cool, stay connected, or find comfort?
- Are there any summer routines, products, or self-care wins worth sharing?
- What do you wish others understood about living with PH this time of year?
We get it, and we want to hear from you. Let’s support one another!

On Wednesday, Manny and I had the best time meeting up with @ky and Bryan for lunch and cheers! They’re here in SoCal on vacation with their family, and we’ve been looking forward to this for months, ever since Ky told me they were coming to California. We planned to make it happen! 😍
The afternoon was filled with laughter, big hugs, delicious food, and ice-cold adult beverages. It was one of those moments you don’t want to end! Ky, kindly let me share this photo of the four of us, though the guys managed to snag the front row. We’re here in beautiful Encinitas, CA!🌞
We’re already brainstorming plans for next year, and hopefully, we’ll get to visit them in Utah next time. Can’t wait to make more memories! Wishing them lots of SoCal summertime sunshine, loads of fun, and safe travels back home. They also had some exciting news as they now have three little grandbabies to love and spoil! (💙Little bean #3 arrived just before they flew out.💙)
Cheers and have a safe and restful weekend, Y’all! Be sure to do at least one thing that brings you JOY! 😎

I just got back from celebrating with my family! a 4-day road trip to Buffalo, to celebrate my cousin’s 80th BD, which turned into a family reunion! It was wonderful to see my cousins and meet the younger generation. On the way home, we stopped to visit a friend I’d not seen in 5 years, although we talk weekly, and stayed with another cousin in Cleveland to break up the return trip. Altogether, wonderful! and tiring….

@Terese Tuohey Wow! The Summer of 2025 will be one to remember! When you are spending time with loved ones and enjoying yourself, it’s easy to forget to take a few pictures. Did you manage to get any? Really, it’s so nice to hear that you were able to do all of this and cherish the time spent! Thank you for sharing your happy experience with us!

Hi @Terese Tuohey , Wow, what an adventure you’ve had! Your summer sounds incredible, my dear PHriend. I’m so thrilled to hear about your memorable trip to celebrate your cousin’s 80th birthday—what an incredible milestone! It sounds like your family gathering was filled with love, connection, and support.
And then, catching up with a long-time friend and spending time with another cousin—what a perfect way to make the most of your journey. I often say that if I’m going to leave the comfort of my PJs and step out of the house, I need to make it worthwhile. And you, my PHriend, have done just that! What a beautiful summer adventure you’ve created!🌞😎
Make sure to get some well-deserved rest! By the way, how’s the new bed working out with your O2?
