intentions...

Went to the doctors of Friday and basically I'm just another spectacle, another miracle, an experiment. I just want to be normal. Some people like to read my blog because it makes them feel good or sad but they should feel happy that they have their whole life ahead of them. That every breath they take is a miracle, we're a miracle. So I'm not a spectacle and I'm just Lisa. You get what you get.

The doctors treated my visit as just another check up, I really don't think that they can do anything for me during these check ups except to lighten my wallet. So I'm exhausted by the end of the day with the doctors. The next day Joey had to spend the day giving me fluids and taking care of me so that I could recover from the doctors visit. Thank you Husbande.

The lung test I have to take for the UW transplant program will be very challenging for me because I am so weak. I am not even able to take a deep breath. I have all the intentions to do my best to feel better but by the end of everyday I'm just too tired, especially during the winter. Some think that a lung transplant will be my only option but I just want to be healed of this stupid disease. I'm getting weaker mentally as my body wears down my mind is exhausted. My heart can not pump as fast and that slows me down a lot. That's why I have to rest so much and stay home. I'm always concerned about getting pneumonia, so basically I'm a homebody until flu season is over this March or until I can get used to the weather here. I've gotten a lot of care from my mom, hubande, and my dad who stays home with the dog while my mom helps me.

A miracle is only a miracle if you can't see a way it's going to work, only God can do this through your prayers.

Long time NO POST...

My website has been disabled because my computer program is having issues right now. I have a backup that I've kept for a long time for just such an time. My website should up again soon.

I have been in Washington for four months and I am freezing! But thanks to the City Church for a nice heater that I really like. I have to conserve my energy for a lung transplant evaluation at the University of Washington on Friday. I am kind of scared because what if I am rejected. Then what will I do? I believe in the Lord and he will take care of the rest. Afterwards we will go to Dicks if I have the energy. My Mom and Joey are going with me.

Sara is leaving me. I am so sad. Sara is abandoning me ( I’m joking) to move to Washington DC. Maybe I will Skype Sara to stay in touch. I will miss her very much, her laughter, her smile, her intuitiveness. My cat and I will miss her. The petting and the love.

I went to see the lung doctor and UW with mom and Joey. We got there early because it was in Seattle. We were really nervous being at a hospital because of all the sick people walking around and my weak immune system. We were there for 3 hours and during the time we were all starving so when we got done we went to Dicks, It was moms first time and Joey was so hungry he ate enough for two people. Then we all went home and took naps. Now we are waiting for the tests to begin to see if I can join the program.


Just pray for me that I will be ok with whatever happens and that I will have peace.
Pray for strength to get through the tests and to hear the results.


If you want to buy me Christmas gifts you can buy me a gift certificate to Amazon.com or contribute to my NTAF fund for all the bills that I have accumulated.
