"A new day; I was waiting for so long for a miracle to
come. Everyone told me to be strong; hold on and don't shed a
tear. Through the darkness and good times; I knew I'd make it
through..."
-and thus it begins-
(Oh, yes, we did!)
Second day of April; we did it - we've left the hospital after
fifteen long days. I've been discharged from the hospital; and we're back
in our apartments; our home away from home. I am so happy, I cannot describe. I
am so blessed that my mum and my husband stayed by my side these last few
weeks. I am so lucky to have had a good recovery thus far. I am so
very grateful for all the support, prayers, and love we've been shown.
I am both nervous and excited for these next few months.
Everything is new; the good and the bad. There will be many ups:
rehab - the strengthening of my body and lungs. To be actually walking,
running, exercising... the excitement of everything being new; and just
enjoying life.
And there will be downs: especially adjusting my body to all the
new medications and new lungs... and, wow, there's a lot of medications.
And there's a lot of work; struggle; and pain yet to come. It's a
long road, but as the days go by I know it will get easier; for I will get stronger.
We shall remain strong; my dearest and I, side by side. We
will remain hopeful knowing so many people are praying; feel loved by our
family and friends; lean on each other always. And I will definately
remain stubborn, because that's just who I am. ;)
This journey is long; the chapters keep coming and
closing. We've closed so many - Being extremely ill is done;
pre-transplant wait is over; lung surgery is done; post-transplant hospital
recovery is done - now a new chapter has opened: Healing. <3
God is good.
Much love,

(p.s. I love you,
mum. Thank you always.)
