New Blog

Last night I found this blog and read the whole thing! This woman and her daughter are such an inspiration!! I thought about them all night and so far all day this morning. I wanted to share the blog with you so if you have time check it out.

New Blog I Love!

Here is a address to a blog that I love! It is a man trying to lose
65 pounds. He talks about his weight loss, food, exercise, ect and
you can donate (even a dollar will help!!) to help because he feels
that the money people donate will keep him going with the diet and
all money goes to cystic fibrosis (cf) foundation!!!! I think this man
is awesome!!!! Check out his blog!! And remember...all money you donate
to help him stick to the diet goes to the cff.org !!!!

update on lung transplant

I just wanted to update everyone on the story yesterday that I posted about. The surgery was completed by 6:30am and was a successful surgery!! Yea!!!! Thanks to all of you who sent out prayers on their behalf!! These next few hours and days and weeks will be the most critical. There are too many possible complications to list, but you could look it up on the internet if you have the time but please be praying that Tricia will stay infection and rejection free. And as alway please pray for the donor's family. If you want to check out the updates on the actual blog from her husband the address is http://cfhusband.blogspot.com

Thanks!

ps. Lung transplant has come a long way!! It was just a dream in the 80's!!!

Lung Transplant!!

Hi Everyone!!

April is organ donation awareness month and I just found out some amazing news!!! I have been following a blog about a man who's wife has cf and is in need of a lung transplant. Right as she was being put on the list for the lung transplant she found out she was pregnant and they decided to keep the baby even though it put her at very high risk of losing her life. She ended up going into labor at 24 weeks and so far the baby is doing great. But Tricia (the wife w/ cf) Had to be put on a ventaltor to breath for her when she had the baby. Her lungs could no longer do it on their own. She was put back on the list for a lung transplant. Most people when put on a vent will not make it to receive new lungs. She has been waiting 3 months (which is amazing considering she has been on the vent for that long also) and today got the call that they had a match!!! She is in surgery now so please if you have a moment pray that she makes it through and all goes well. And also please pray for the donor's family. What a great gift! Here is the blog address if you would like to read it. Her husband is a great writer and very uplifting! http://cfhusband.blogspot.com He updates two and three times a day!!

Thanks!
