Current Mood:  thankful
The CF walk is in 6 days!!
I will be taking a trip to Idaho after that. So in 7 days I'll be visiting my friend!
I went to clinic on tuesday. I am doing fabulous! My lung function is up to 76%!
My weight is 130-134 lbs..
I am so happy I am doing good at this point. So I further go to prove that you CAN survive with chronic rejection. As my doc said, she has a patient 12 and some 16 years out, with chronic rejection..
Because of what ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) cfkitty went through. I automatically thought chronic rejection was a death sentence. It's not. I wish she would have gotten better...
Even though my docs thought I wasn't going ot make it back in september.. My lung function was 32% and I was told I was chronic... I started plannig out my death once again. I started writing things down for everyone.
And in the July before that. I nearly died. So twice in the year right after my transplant, I almost died. But I am doing great now.
I have gotten so close to death too many times. I remember in the June before my transplant, my heart stopped and started, several times.. To look back on how bad I was before transplant, and to see how I am doing now, just boggles me!
I'm proud to be alive today thanks to my donor. I'm thankful. I am truley honored.
I'm nearing 1 year and seven months since transplant! Heh.. I am amazed!
Here I come two years!!!! I will do this!
Then I'll shoot for three years...
Four.. And so on.. As any as I can grab in my life loving hands.
Happy Mother's Day to all the brave mothers out there.

Happy Mother's Day Hammy,
Without you, I know I wouldn't have made it sometimes. We may argue and create World War III sometimes. But that's ok. You were brave for taking me on when you were MY AGE, when I was born. You knew, I was going to be a challenge, yet you kept me, even when they kept asking you, if you wanted me.
Not many mom's can put up with what you do. Not many mom's let their children have the freedom to do everything they dream of or desire, yet try to make them understand morals and responsibility at the same time.
You let me live, you let me blossom. You let me express myself, through every odd stage I went though. And the little pain in your butt I am today.
I'll always be your baby, despite being 5'6'' and 130 lbs now.
I may have a mouth. I may be witty. I may be snobby sometimes..
But I always love you. Thanks for kicking me in the rear at times. Thank you for letting me stay in school, even though it put you through hell. Thank you, for letting me experience everything I possibly could. And treating me as an equal at the same time.
I am glad you grounded me, like all the other children. I'm glad you expected good grades out of me. I am blessed you made me go to school, even if I felt like crap. You knew, damn well, when I couldnt' go. Or you believed me when I said I couldn't do it anymore.
I'm sorry you had to go through so much trauma with me.
I hope I stay brave like you. Don't worry Mom, just because I'm moving out of the state, doesn't mean I won't be shoved up your behind on occasion. I will always be the biggest baby in the family. Even though I have my rough and tumble attitude, and I look like a freak, I'm your baby.
I'm sorry for getting so pitiful at times. I don't regret anything. I just wish I would have taken more time to thank you for everything.
I hope the fact I'm still alive helps..
And thanks for holding me up when I couldn't stand on my own two feet. And for letting me cry on your shoulder when the tears wouldn't stop falling.
I am proud to be your daughter.
I love you Mom...
♥ Kina Nicole
