Elissa And Her Lung Transplant

[gshase]

I have not posted anything in a long time, As several here have asked how she is doing. Well it has been almost 1 year since she got listed and she has been on and off of the Active transplant list due to having other complications with her C.F. Presently she has been inactive for 3 months due to an infection of MAC. The Mac was detected in a culture and is not colonised which makes treatment possible but the regiment of drugs to fight MAC is very hard on her body and it must be treated before she can be placed back on active status. We just did 7 weeks in the hospital with kidney stones and collapsed lung and chest tube to re-inflate her lung and last week she got the chest tube out. Hopefully in 30 days she will be reevaluated and placed on active status again.
She has a guy friend in her life and living at home which makes her Mom and I happy.

After all that you and yours have been through and continue to live with my words appear to be completely inadequate for expressing my admiration of your courage and Elissas' resilience. All blessings on you all.

I agree.

"flatbutt" nailed it. I wish I could add more.

I can't even imagine what you and your family are going through. The best I can do is pray for a good outcome.
God bless.

Thank you for the update. I hope the best for you and your family. I *still* cant imagine the anguish you guys are going through.

Stay strong and you and Elissa will get through this.

Tough kid, always nice to hear that she is doing good and best wishes for getting well enough for the transplant.

Even dealing with family and close friends it is hard with out a tiny bit of good news to say much......We are stuck and would love to be able say everything is great and we just are not there yet.
