    My husband just had a transplant...some of his nurses and his surgeon are saying...

    Here's a link to the surgeon. Charles Hoopes. Click on the link below and read his Curriculum Vitae. You'll have your choice of articles to read and while he may not be as intelligent/educated as your wife in the medical field, he seems to be a pretty intelligent fellow.....my guess is that...

    My husband just had a transplant...some of his nurses and his surgeon are saying...

    Oh I see. So, while others post precautions of their centers, those post are not "irresponsible". While my posting a differing post is. The "life in a bubble" is a figure of speech used by the transplant surgeon. That is a fact. I'm assuming you weren't there for that conversation. I would...

    My husband just had a transplant...some of his nurses and his surgeon are saying...

    I read your reply and respect your concerns. I found myself getting mad a bit then realized that you're not a bad fella at all. You care about others with CF and those that have been transplanted. I get it. I'm simply reporting fact. Her team didn't want her to live in a bubble. Maybe...

    My husband just had a transplant...some of his nurses and his surgeon are saying...

    My Julie's doc didn't believe that he transplanted her to live life in a bubble. There is nothing that she can't eat. I wrote her story....Julie: The Courage to Breathe. All proceeds to the CF Foundation. Take a read. It's available everywhere. Enjoy the 2nd chance my fellow CF spouse...

    We can do this!

    Guys/Gals, 2 years ago, Julie's Dream Team challenged conventional wisdom. Do we beg people to give cash....write a check to the CF Foundation? Or........Could we ask people to spend their money on themselves, helping to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis at the same time? We NEVER thought that...

    Just wanted to show you all that Lulu.com has sent the first royalty check for "Julie: The Courage to Breathe" to the CF Foundation. Amazon.com is next to report out. I think everyone whose life this disease touches should pick up a copy. It's available on Kindle and Nook as well. Excerpts...

    112

    112. That's the number of pages in Julie: The Courage to Breathe. Sales of Julie's amazingly courageous story have been great but I find myself thinking how odd it is that, of all of those in the world that want a cure for Cystic Fibrosis...and my willingness to give 100% of all royalties to...

    Julie: The Courage to Breathe

    Thanks LL. I wouldn't consider myself to be an author but I'm a husband that has lived with this disease in my life. This book is absolutely truthful and written from the heart. Thanks for picking up a copy. Reading a book....something as simple as reading a book can help find the cure. I...

    It's Time for the Cure

    Guys, For the past 20 years, I've had CF be a part of my life. Reading this forum, while helpful will never lead to a cure. It's going to take money for research....and you know we're close to CF standing for Cure Found. For goodness sakes...pick up a copy of my Julie's story: Julie: The...

    Julie: The Courage to Breathe

    Jenny, I watched this miracle unfold from a foot away. Julie's story is AMAZING! I would never consider myself an author but I wrote this book from the heart. I hate CF. I hate it with everything that is within me and I learned how to beat it. We can buy time until the cure is found (and...

    Julie: The Courage to Breathe

    All, For those that don't know, I wrote my Julie's story of Cystic Fibrosis and her ultimate transplant. I did so because I believe those with CF deserve a cure. I have directed the publisher to direct 100% of my author royalties to the CF Foundation. Julie: The Courage to Breathe is...

    Math

    I've done the math folks. There are 9 million of us that LOVE the 30,000 (70,000 world-wide). I've seen the pain associated with the loss of loved ones to this disease. Hell, I was inches away from being one of those that lost a loved one to CF. By God's grace, it didn't happen. I spoke...

    Fat Kid

    I wanted to tell you a quick story about a fat kid. That fat kid is me, Roy Ice. When I was 16, I met a girl that coughed. She coughed A LOT. Eight years later, I would marry the girl that saw something special in my heart. Eight months after the marriage, we learned that my beautiful...

    Julie: The Courage to Breathe

    Thanks Stacey. It's been a tough but wonderful year. Being a caregiver for a cystic is tough work. Being a caregiver for a cystic that's received new lungs is twice as difficult at first but as life as settled down a bit, the work lessens. We're ready to kick finding a cure into high gear...

    Julie: The Courage to Breathe

    All, Over a year ago, I became a member of CysticFibrosis.com. I shared the creation of Julie's Dream Team with you all. A team that does nothing but drink beer and eat pizza/wings. To date, our methods of asking those to "Live life...help others live theirs" has generated over $250,000 for...
