Blogging has opened so many opportunities to meet and connect with so many other people and especially other CFers. I follow and track their triumphs, trials, and journey with CF and Transplants. So I would just like to share a few of the things I am happy about.
My friend Nancy (see her link on the right) recieved her new lungs EXACTLY a year after I got mine. . . yes, we share a transplant day. December 10th is special to both of us for the same reason :) I think that is really fun! Recently however she had some tests come back showing some mild rejection and had to undergo some meds and treatments to correct it. She says she is feeling better and has an appointment soon to check if the treatment worked. So please everyone keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers~ I am glad to hear she is feeling better now.
Also, I follow a CFer who is in the pre-transplant stages. His name is James (link below is Another Outlet). He has gone through a lot to get things in order to be listed. Finally he is listed at the University of Pennsylvnia. He is listed at the top for his blood type~ So once again please keep him and his family in your prayers and thoughts. What an exciting and tough time for them!
The internet, social networking and these online blogs have really brought so many strangers together. I know where some of my readers are from, and I know I have readers from all over the world! That to me is an amazing miracle. . . we can support, love, and understand people we would never have an opportunity to meet in person. I just find so much happiness through making so many friends and I hope I can help others.
Thank You Everyone!
