Transplant Update

I had a translpant appointment yesterday and over all it went well. The doctor shared his concern about the increase in my need for oxygen and the challenge in finding smaller lungs to fit me. He did say they (UAB) have not transplanted any lungs this year. They have done 2 hearts but so far no lungs. They will have slow months and then the next month they can tranpslant lots of people, it's just always hard to tell. It's hard to understand sometimes why God allows you to stay in a season of waiting but we trust Him. God made me the size I am and He knew I would be facing a transplant and therefore He can provide what I need, we do believe that! Also, we did see Sean (the CF guy who had the transplant) and he is doing very well. His PFT's (pulmonary function test. Your lungs air capacity) are 86% and rising. His were in the low twenties before transplant.

My need for IV meds seem to be monthly if not every couple of weeks now and I stay tired most of the time. I know you all pray for us and so I just ask for prayers for continualy strength and the healing to get off the meds for a while, give my body a break. Pray for our emotions too. Also, please pray for Jason & Callie as they daily take care of Faith and I and ALL our needs.
