I honestly never thought I would have to do this but I guess this proves we never know what life has in store. I was diagnosed with a rare progressive lung disease in 2017, the short name for it is LAM. I am currently dealing with my 4th pheumothorax And basically my next step is to have a bilteral lung transplant. I have never been so scared as I am right now. I’m scared bc I hope I make it thru, I‘m sad bc I‘m going to miss my children’s lives for approximately 3 months, and that’s best case scenario. My oldest child will graduate in may and as much as it breaks my heart to possibly miss that,  it is what it is bc as soon as possible I have to move forward with this.  Honestly, there is no good time. this is something I will never be ready for but it’s not an option. At the moment I am hoping everything will go thru with my insurance and I can move forward. My husband was let go at his job 2 weeks ago so we are also dealing with that. I know GOD has a plan and whatever the outcome ends up being is the way it’s supposed to be. I will have to stay at mayo in Rochester 8-9 hours away from Dickinson. I want/need my kids to come and see me during that time if it’s affordable  and  if not then we will get thru that too, So I’m not begging I’m just putting my situation out there and if anyone can help out it will be appreciated more then I could ever express in words. Thank you for your time.
