I have Pulmonary Fibrosis. Put a clothespin on your nose, a straw in your mouth and a 2ton elephant on your chest. That is my life everyday. When I can’t get air into my concrete turning lungs, should my daughter just put a pillow over my face and make all of this terror go away.

It will go when God says it will go. Until then He will give me and my family the grace to endure.

Yes CC.

We do not know God's mind.

But we do know that he has a plan for each of us, and while we do not know his plan, he has told us that he loves us, and to have faith in him.

Perhaps, even now, as we type our thoughts at each other through cyberspace, he is raising up a young doctor/scientist/researcher/curious mind/child of someone who has seen up close and personal the pain and heartbreak associated with Pulmonary Fibrosis, to develop a cure.

Perhaps that will occur in our lifetimes, perhaps not, but we must, regardless, maintain our faith in God. After all, if we keep our faith in our Savior, we are not dying, we are just approaching the time when we will be called to be with him forevermore.

I pray for the easing of your suffering, and for the possibility of a breakthrough in the treatment of PF.

Whenever I am asked to pray for someone who is suffering illness, I first pray that they will come to know our Lord, if they haven't already do so, then I pray for their suffering to be alleviated. Their eternal salvation is more important than any illness in this all to short lifetime.

Thankfully, in your case, I need only pray for your suffering to be alleviated, as it is clear your faith is firm.

P.S. I also pray that an abortionist has not, and will not, terminate the life of whoever the Lord has chosen/will chose to bring a "Miracle of Modern Medicine" (as the media likes to call it) into this world, to ease the pain an suffering that exists here.

May God bless and keep you and your family.
