Last night I heard the amazing news that my dear friend, Katy, who has been fighting cystic fibrosis, had finally gotten the call for her new lungs. Today, she spent all day in surgery, which went wonderfully…and is recovering now.
While it is very sad to think about the donor family, it is incredible that Katy has gotten the gift of life. She is one of the strongest, kindest people I know and I am so very excited for her to start the rest of her life with beautiful, healthy lungs.

You are so sweet Mel! I love seeing all of the posts and updates that you wrote about me! Cannot wait til I am stronger and we are able to catch up! Nail dates, sitting in the park .. just relaxing and enjoying life!!
