I have only read a small part of your blog and Give Forward, but you have touched my heart. CF only entered my life 6 years ago, yes I had heard about it but didn't really know much about it. 6 years ago my niece had a little girl, the hospital offered her a free check for CF and she thought "yes why not", there is no CF in either of the families, so we all assumed this routine check would come back negative. The results were position. I am sure you will know how we all felt, the tears, the grief, the feeling sick, the "why us". My Gt. niece is a lovely bubbly happy little girl and is doing really really well. The fact that you have been able to have a child gives hope that one day she will be able to do the same. I will follow your progress every step of the way and will be praying for you, along with everyone else.

Your will to survive is so important. It will get you through long and hard days ahead of you. <br />Theres a proverb I often remind my patients of when they are having a bad day: You only get the life you are strong enough to live!

It was fun meeting your mom--though I felt like I already knew her and how great she was from your blog. :) We were all recovering from sicknesses and I knew you were busy packing, so that's why I didn't try to see you.

CF is a horrendous disease, but seeing strong women (and men) battle the disease with everything they have gives me motivation to do the same!<br /><br />I hope to be a mom someday too despite this awful disease. Reading about your little boy's unconditional love for you (and your oxygen tube) is so touching. I will be thinking of you through the transplant journey!Inhaling Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10487999036810367535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005427343505549988.post-17342850008341944402011-09-09T16:58:28.677-07:002011-09-09T16:58:28.677-07:00Wow, Sharlie, that was soooooo beautiful.

You are a great writer and have the spirit of an angel for sure, it brought tears to my eyes and I had to say hi! I have great memories of knowing your family. My favorite memory of you is when I was 14, your mom asked me to teach you and your sisters piano, something I'd never thought of doing, but I've continued to teach and learn since then and have loved it! I've got a picture of us in a scrapbook somewhere I'll have to get to you. It's been a blessing to know you and you'll be in my prayers :)Hollienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005427343505549988.post-54885204270079446462011-09-09T09:32:44.824-07:002011-09-09T09:32:44.824-07:00Thanks for sharing Shar!

Reconciling a young woman with oxygen was something many people had a hard time grasping. <br /><br />I know that Sara was very thankful for her O2 - it was what allowed her to stay so strong and as fit as possible during her 2-plus year wait for lungs. She was able to work out, climb stairs, even swim laps (one at a time, with a break and coughing in between - but swimming it was!) as well as allowing us to enjoy things like motorcycle rides (the risk of ending in an oxygen-fed fireball are actually quite low ;).<br /><br />And for every jerk that tried to get us kicked out of the movie we were watching, there were the others - the ones that thanked us for having it, for reminding him of his recently passed mother - that hearing the pulse through the movie made him feel like she was still there - and for the rare brave ones who gave a kind word or happily helped the strong young woman who happened to be wearing a tube.<br /><br />Wear it with pride, appreciation and verve, girl! It will serve you well and lots of people love you with or without it!Rand0m1https://www.blogger.com/profile/14008411461960695096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005427343505549988.post-47981789583796124602011-09-08T23:15:13.639-07:002011-09-08T23:15:13.639-07:00:) Harrison is just like his momma, an angel!:) Harrison is just like his momma, an angel!Cormoranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12372367193118807728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005427343505549988.post-91443278514424125672011-09-08T23:09:19.418-07:002011-09-08T23:09:19.418-07:00I love you Shar. xoxoI love you Shar. xoxoMiqhttp://thirtyhandmadedays.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005427343505549988.post-73189696757522241432011-09-08T23:01:36.592-07:002011-09-08T23:01:36.592-07:00Beautifully written Sharlie!
