Hi Kelly,

Such good news about your lungs! I hope both of them are back to full function soon.

Your situation has helped your brother--maybe even saved his life. It's not something many people can claim as a result of their run-in with OC. Usually, it's more like third person anecdotal help and not for the benefit of a person with whom you share parents.

I'll keep both you and your brother in my thoughts and prayers for great success with treatment, a divinely guided medical team, and a quick return to complete health. I'd pray for a group discount, too. But, knowing that MDA is a top facility and a "destination" CCC, I know that would be asking way too much for even God to pull off. smile

Take care and keep us posted about what is happening with you and your brother.

Sandy
