CF flipping sucks

While one life, Garran, is being extended wonderfully (he is doing fabulous and last report is he is off the vent and walking around less than 24 hrs after tx!).  And another is on the way out.  Our friend Jenn is on the vent after a severe lung bleed.  It is only a matter of days or hours until we loose her.  We are all so sadden and heartbroken.  It happened so fast.  She has been in the hospital for a few weeks working through some medical issues, and waiting to be listed for a lung transplant.  And now this.  

I feel so distanced, so removed from it.  Like it isn't happening and it is just some bad nightmare.  Talking about it doesn't seem like it is her.  Like it is someone else, or a TV show.  

I don't want her to go but I don't want her to suffer.  

I pray to God that she is not suffering and that her family has the strength to get through this.

We all love you Jenn and are pulling with all our might that a miracle might happen and bring you back to chat with us.

  2. Amy, I agree. We were all so happy for Garran only to have that shot down by the email about Jenn. No one ever said this stupid disease was fair but at times it can be cruel as well.

  4. Oh how sad it makes me to hear of someone so young about to lose their life. I also remember Garran from the cf forums. I don't get on there very much anymore so I didn't know that he had received the transplant. I am glad to hear it....it's just so sad that he already was in need of a transplant. Glad he is doing good so far!!

  5. I was very shocked to read about Jenn. CF does suck..I don't care how anyone puts it, is sucks all the way around. It sucks that people so young even have to face the notion of transplants or loss of life. This is such a tragedy, I too only pray that she is comfortable and wish for comfort for her family and friends.
    Sending hugs and fervently praying,
    Jenn
