Symptoms Got Worse..

Sarah's lungs- in desperate need for lung transplant

Sarah, now at the age of 25, is suffering some severe lung infections. Dr. Fisher is recommending for her to get a lung transplant but she can’t face the facts just yet. It hasn’t hit her that her disease has taken over and is this bad. The doctor also said that soon her gallbladder might have to be removed. How can a disease take over a whole persons life? How is this possible that your life is revolving around your effort in surviving and surpassing this type of illness? Lately Sarah has told me that she has been coughing up mucus that sometimes has blood in it. There is no cure for Cystic Fibrosis but newer treatments have allowed patients to live past 40, but this is still a very short life span when compared to the average life of a healthy person.                        


Now a days, Sarah is in a loving and healthy marriage. Her and husband, Jerry, have been talking about children. They have tried several times but things are just not clicking. The two have recently seen a fertility doctor and the doctor was suspicious that it was the Cystic Fibrosis disease getting in the way, once again, just like all throughout her life. They found out it actually was, since the thick mucus is blocking the way of the sperm to get through, her eggs can not fertilize. Usually females that are diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis have a slim chance of having children, but it is possible. I have just received recent news that the two aren't giving up yet. 


Good luck to them!!!
