    Air Pockets INSIDE the lungs??

    Megan....there are many factors that go into determining whether someone needs a lung transplant as I am sure you are aware. There are many things that come up for us over the years.

    Coughing at night...

    Caitlin.....this totally sounds like a reflux problem to me. Have you ever had any problems with that? Often times when we are laying in bed "stuff" from our earlier meal comes back up and irritates the throat and can sometimes get to the lungs. Do you take nexium or other? It is NOT always the...
