two months

it's been two months since her double-lung transplantation

two months in that hospital

way over two months in pittsburgh, PA

away from her home and her bed and her family and friends

and school and all the things she needs

but

after two months

she has made tremendous strides

over-come one thing after another

been brave and courageous and has made others

much more considerate of their circumstances


she's an amazing kid, growing into an amazing woman

and over-coming all of this, little by little

day by day

tomorrow, she's scheduled to have yet another surgery

-a another biopsy of her new lungs

to check for any rejection

(how could those new lungs not want to be with her?)

after all these 'procedures' and after all this time

the only thing she's distressed about is that

her new iPhone can't be activated quite yet...


WHAT-A-GIRL!!!!
