THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BECOME A COMPLETE BLESSING TO MY FAMILY! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND I WILL CHERISH EVERY OUNCE OF GENEROSITY SHOWN TO MY FAMILY AS LONG AS I AM A SURVIVOR

IT HAS BEEN A CRAZY RIDE THESE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS...TOO MANY CHALLENGES TO EXPLAIN. THERE ARE SO MANY OF YOU THAT I HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUITY TO SPEAK WITH PERSONNALLY. HOWEVER, I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT I THINK OF YOU GUYS. I LAUGH AT GREAT MEMORIES THAT REALLY SPARK UP MY ATTITUDE WHEN SOMETIMES WHEN IT COULD BE EASY TO FEEL SORRY FOR MYSELF. 49 PILLS A DAY CAN AFFECT YOUR MINDSET SOME DAYS. HOWEVER, EACH AND EVERY ACT OF KINDNESS AND GENEROSITY TOWARDS MY FAMILY DOES NOT GO UNNOTICED. 35,000 PLUS PEOPLE DOWNLOADED THE FOX8 NEWS STORY THAT AIRED JUST RECENTLY ABOUT MY PERSONAL FIGHT WITH IDEOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS. AND YES I AM GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR VERY OWN NEW ORLEANS CRESCENT CITY CLASSIC TO RAISE AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE CONCERNING THE IMPORTANCE AND PROCESSES OF NOT ONLY BECOMING AN ORGAN DONOR, BUT HOW ONE MIGHT FIND THEMSELVES LIKE ME BECOMING AN ORGAN RECIPIENT! I HOPE WE HAVE ALOT OF FUN IN THE PROCESS AND DO NOT PLAN TO LET THE WEATHER HINDER THE EXPERIENCE. I WOULD LOVE YOU GUYS TO CONTACT ME AT MY NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS.....2LUNGS4D@GMAIL.COM OR PLEASE CALL ME ON MY CELL 504-813-4531. ANYONE WITH ANY QUESTION IS WELCOME TO ASK...JUST DONT EXPECT ME TO SUGAR COAT IT. MY LIFE WAS SAVED BY A GREAT GROUP OF DOCTORS AND STAFF AT OSCHNER HOSPITAL IN NEW ORLEANS. I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IF I HAD TO. FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE SCARED AND DEALING WITH MY OR SIMILAR CONDITION, SEEK OUT A PULMONARY SPECIALIST WITH EXPERIENCE AT RECOGNIZING THESE DISEASES. THE DISEASES THEMSELVES MOVE RELATIVELY SLOWLY THAN SUDDENLY AS IN MY CASE BECAME INDESCRIBABLY AGGRESSIVE. DONT WAIT TILL ITS TOO LATE!
