my cystic sister!

My cystic sister lindsay got her call. She is the lovely lady who updated my blog so faithfully during my transplant. I'm repaying the favour, and you can check out how awesome she is doing here http://laby-lol.blogspot.com. Click here for Lungs Out Loud.

It was a really emotional day yesterday. 
I didn't know whether to be ecstatic for lindsay or sad or scared.
One of my friends who has CF passed away yesterday, Jessica. She was 24 and from orangeville. She went in to the hospital with a sinus infection I believe and just could not fight it. She had been sick and on IV antibiotics for 2 years due to catching the bacteria cepacia. The infection coupled with the bacteria was too much for her and she passed away. I never met Jessica in person, but we emailed each other back and forth. She loved her boyfriend and family and friends very much. I could tell from her emails what a great gal she was. She was always so inquisitive, and just seemed like such a sweet girl. I'm so so so sorry to her family, to james, and to her close friends. What a loss the world has had. Rest in peace dear Jess. I know what a struggle it is to breathe and you my friend struggled for so long. CF warrior you were my dear. We'll keep fighting the fight for you. CF is not fair. Not fair at all.
