2 Year Lung Birthday-June 10th

Hi everyone!

This week on June 10th I am celebrating my 2 year lung birthday.  This is a pretty awesome day for me considering where I have come from and all of the odds that I have beat.  Life is so amazing.  I can’t even begin to say what these two years have been like.  I have read my other blogs from about the time when I was my worst before I got my lungs all the way to right after I got my lungs, and I just can’t believe that it all has happened.  I remember so many days so clearly when I thought for sure that I would never see Jayden get into kindergarten.  But, now in August I will be taking Josiah to his first day of kindergarten!  It is pretty amazing if you ask me.  How ever many more days God has for me, I will live them to the fullest and not let any moments pass me by.  I feel so blessed beyond blessed.  I can’t even tell you.  Two years later, I am doing pretty darn well.  Small stuff happens, but all in all, I am doing great.  I am helping coach the boys in baseball and still being a mom in every way I have ever dreamed.

Life has been a whirlwind…in a very good kind of way.  I am looking forward to writing another blog next year and the year after.  Thank you God for these two years!  And thank you to all of you for all of the love and blessings and PRAYERS that you all have offered up for me.  What would I have done without them??

Hi, my name is Melanie. Thanks for checking out my blog! I have two amazing kids and the best husband anyone could be lucky enough to have. To put it simply, I have been through a lot. I was diagnosed with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) when I was pregnant with my youngest. I talk about what the disease is here: What is LAM? Essentially, it is an incurable lung disease that took away my breath literally and put me on death's doorstep by the time I was 28. I was very fortunate to receive a lung transplant and get a new shot at life. I talk about what a lung transplant involves here: What is a Lung Transplant? I have utilized this blog to share my story of a very rare lung disease and give hope to other women who struggle with it as well. I also hope to show that through all of the difficulties that life has thrown my way, it is a CHOICE to live every day as if it is my last. It very well could be, so I will never let a day go by where I do not appreciate and love all of the blessings that God has given me in this life. Starting with the extra time that this double lung transplant has given me.
