I am praying for you and your upcoming (hopefully soon!) transplant, you deserve the best set of lungs possible! God bless & thank you so much for sharing!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442875822677834601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-73189122139317960382010-04-05T23:42:26.643-04:002010-04-05T23:42:26.643-04:00It sounds like you had a great day!

My goodness, when those lungs do come, and they are the ones that are for YOU - you sure will be ready. That's the bright side. I am still however so sad that you have to go through this. I keep thinking which I would have preferred being in your shoes or mine. I don't remember anything, I sometimes wish I remembered more. You seem to have too much information, too much 'awareness'. I'm just blabbing now. Love your blog, and really cannot wait for you to wake up with the real thing. My body is so strong now, better each day, better than I could have ever imagined. I cannot wait for you to take on NY strong and healthy. I cannot wait.Natalia Ritchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348458043785917439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-51504271221939414822010-04-05T16:02:16.734-04:002010-04-05T16:02:16.734-04:00After reading this post, I was sitting there think...After reading this post, I was sitting there thinking about it and I became aware of my lungs, breathing in and out for me as they have my whole life. I never thanked them or appreciated them before. <br /><br />When I read your fluent, nuanced, precise writing, I always think the same thing: "She should write a book!"iolanthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410027666195607474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-63633501821947614862010-04-05T15:01:28.877-04:002010-04-05T15:01:28.877-04:00You deserve such a wonderful day Piper :)You deserve such a wonderful day Piper :)Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18326291863252010459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-2496276311166443722010-04-05T13:27:42.199-04:002010-04-05T13:27:42.199-04:00Such a beautiful post as usual Piper.

We are all thinking about you and keeping our fingers crossed.<br />And my family watched The Blind Side today too. The young man in that film wrote so movingly of the combination of courage and honor. He might well have been writing about you. Your example of personal courage and honor is gift to us all on this Easter day.<br />With my most sincere good wishes and endless respects,<br />Barry NolanBarry Nolannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-30969731493886707882010-04-04T22:01:46.289-04:002010-04-04T22:01:46.289-04:00What a wonderful post, thank you so much for shari...What a wonderful post, thank you so much for sharing all these parts of your journey.
