About Me

My photo
I was born with Cystic Fibrosis. I was diagnosed when I was only 2 months old. At the age of 13 I was diagnosed with Cepacia. I am now 32 years old. I am married to my best friend, Bryan. We have been married for over 13 years. In 2007 I was in end stage CF. I was told I was not a candidate for a life saving double lung transplant due to culturing Cepacia. I could not accept that. I found one center who would evaluate me. It was 2000 miles away from home in Pittsburgh, PA. It was there I started to die. After evaluations I had to be put on a ventilator to keep me alive. They decided to list me. On December 10,2007 just 3 days after being listed I received new lungs. I was given a miracle! God had a plan for me, God answered my prayers. It wasn't easy, but it is worth it!

Cause Ribbon w/Initial Bead

A great way to personalize your bracelet.I got a request for a couple bracelets with a purple cause ribbon for Cystic Fibrosis then the idea was proposed to add the initial of the their loved one who has CF. I played with a couple ideas of how to incorporate both things on a bracelet. This is what I came up with and they turned out really nice! The metal bead has a "C" on it, I am pretty sure I can get any bead letter that you would want. The beads cost me a little more but only a couple dollars.
