Just So You Know . . . (Leah's Blog)
I personally feel this blog needs no introduction, but seeing as I've been lucky enough to "know" Leah for a little while now, I'll give a quick one anyway. Leah is a 28 year old CFer and mother to a stunningly handsome little man. I first began reading her blog as a way to keep up with her recovery after transplant, but I've since been drawn in even further by the cool writing, great pictures, and undeniable flair that she and her husband bring to the table. Enjoy!
(PS: Be sure to check out the entry from a week or so ago where Seth and Leah are actually HOLDING her old CF lungs. Too cool, and makes me totally jealous I'm not at Stanford, which I believe is one of the few centers that offers a chance to see your old organs.)
Quick personal health update for those interested: I am FINALLY finishing up IVs in a few days after a little over 4 weeks and three different antibiotic cocktails. Whew. But seriously, is there any better than feeling than when you turn the corner after an infection? I feel like skipping through the streets (or, you know, I would if it were over 30 degree outside!) and celebrating! So maybe I'll just do the latter, preferably someplace warm and cozy . . . with Sampson . . .and friends . . . and NO silly IV needle!
About Me
- Piper
- I am a 33-year-old wife, sister, daughter, friend, law school graduate, CFer, lifelong student of public service, blog writer, patient, Sagittarius, reader, Top chef fan, double-lung transplant recipient (twice!), and dog owner living in Colorado's beautiful Mile High City. I love all things colorful, funny, inspiring, or needlessly sarcastic. I share my city with about 2,500,000 other remarkable people, share my disease with 70,000 other beautiful souls, share my life with some unbelievable family and friends, and share my apartment with one very handsome guy and one really fat mutt with a kick-butt personality. We make it work.

re: Holding lungs - UCLA didn't allow us to get that close to Sara's either - but we were allowed to provide them with a disposable camera, and they took pics of them for us! So it was the closest thing, and might be an option for you. Just a thought!
