Happy 3rd Lungiversary

 Time has come again ... to celebrate!!!  It's LUNGIVERSARY time again ... YAY!  I decided to make some fabulous "lungs" for my cake and I think it turned out pretty darn good :D!

We decided to have yet another party.  Although not a huge turn out, we had all of our favs surrounding us ... couldn't ask for anything more!

Ashley

I had posted back in September a wonderful story about Ashley.  I had met Ashely through her mother, Caroline when she contacted me terrified for Ashley's life.  Ashley had CF and was nearing the end of her life at that time.  Thankfully she was listed for transplant and received her gift in 2010.

I was totally blown out of the water when I received information that Ashely had passed.  I was saddened that my only encounter with Ashely was when I was diagnosed as a b. cepacia contact and was battling if I was in rejection, in February 2010.  Unfortunately, at that time, I couldn't really wrap my head around socializing, and even if I could, I really couldn't as I was "contact".  I do remember seeing her from a distance and briefly saying "hi".

I had been following Ashley via Facebook, and things seem to be going great.  When I received this information I contacted Caroline, only to find that Ashely was in perfect physical health; however post-transplant proved to be too much for her to manage, emotionally.

Ashely, you will be sadly missed, but I know you're free from all your troubles now.  Breathe easy friend xoxo
