Stair Climb

This is Lindsay and I after I completed the stair climb in San Francisco. (36 flights of stairs) Lindsay was unable to the climb because of her CF, but I was thrilled to do it for her. Another climber said they do this kind of event to show us how a person with CF feels after walking a while. Let me tell you I was feeling like I wanted to quit, but I couldn't knowing she feels like this all of the time. Quiting is not an option for her.

Some crazy man on the street took our picture, but I must say he did a fine job. I can't wait to do it again this year with all who are interested.

Day One...The Counting Begins

I am active as of 3:49 pm March 23, 2009 :)

Lisa, the nurse, called me and told me they received all the results of the tests. I am clear to reactivate on the list. I was so excited! I was nervous for a second. I was overwhelmed, relieved, stress free, and content. I know I have made the right decision. And only because God is on my side will I get through this. Phil 4:3 “I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.” I began to make some calls to tell the world I was listed. I finally got to speak to Dad and Amie. And both Rebecca and Brie were at the gym (pump that iron girls) :) They called me back in time. I am relieved because I have been so stressed just getting through these grueling tests. It felt like so much weight was lifted off my shoulders. And now I sit and wait… and wait… yes that is the only thing I can do from this point on. Tonight I made dinner for Rebecca, Jared, Dustin and Missy. Dustin suggested he’d take me there in 'style' so I think I’ll take him up on his offer, Thanks :) so this is day one of the list. It has been great and I think I want them to just call me already. I still think I’m freaked out, but I’m ready!

All Testing Done....I Hope I Passed

For those of you who are just joining me on my journey for new lungs, I have finished all of my testing required to be listed on the lung transplant list! (YEAH)I was on the list before about 6 years ago and was not fully prepared for the extensive surgery and tasks that followed. Now I have done much more research and I have the best support team to help me along the way.
I'll keep you updated.
