Hi Barbara, I hope you’re doing well. You’ve always inspired me. I’ve been watching your videos for years now. I found you after my diagnosis and you helped me learn things and not feel alone in this. Thank you for sharing your journey with others. It really does mean so much 🩵

Thank you so much! I love hearing that the videos help, that's exactly what I wanted them to do - help others. I hope you are doing well. I will be working on getting another video posted soon to update everyone on how things are going. Take care and thanks for writing 🙂

Hi. I've been following your journey from the beginning. So glad you are doing well and sharing the ups and downs. I was listed Feb 14, 2023 and waiting patiently for the call. Your journey is what inspired me to go through the evaluaton process. You are right it is a long and often difficult process often with doubt and wondering if its "worth" it. Your videos are what kept me going forward. Thank you for that. Peggy

Hi Peggy, I just wanted to check in with you and see how your journey is going. Hoping all is well with you. It's been a couple of months now, any progress or encouraging news?

So good to hear from you. This is a great update and good information for others. I'm still working on getting zephyr valves but since I started pulmonary rehab last November I feel like I may not qualify as I'm doing so well. I'm not sure what they are thinking. My lung fev1 is still 38 and I'm still very hyperinflated. I'll know soon though. They may want me to wait for awhile. 😊

PandemicPat it is good to hear from you too! I'm glad to hear that you are doing better, and sounds like rehab is getting you a little stronger! That's great ... not qualifying because you're doing to well is a good thing! Exercise can really make a difference even if it's only a little bit. Take care and keep in touch!
