WORTH WATCHING! My CF Cepacia Lung Transplant. I shouldn't be alive to tell my story...but miracles happen! We sold our home and everything we could and flew 2000 miles across the country to my only hope for life! Visit my blog at : www.jamiebug.blogspot.com

  • WOW....your video is an inspiration! It serves as a reminder that miracles DO happen, and that we should never take for granted what the good Lord has provided for us. I hope you are well, and continue to do well for decades to come! :)

  • @buggerjlewis Thanks a lot, I haven't had as many complications fortunately, but can only run in 1 minute stints at the moment and was curious. Wish me luck!

  • I lost ALL of my muscle mass post transplant. I was bedridden for MONTHS! SO, I had to rebuild. Post transplant I was skin and bones and weighed under 70 lbs. It has taken me a few years to get good muscle mass & feel ready to tackle a 5K. but once I set the goal I trained seriously for about 2-3 months. There is a great free program called 'couch to 5K' check it out it will help build up endurance/strength at a good pace. Best of Luck!!! You can do it :)

  • @buggerjlewis Its pretty great, how long did it take you to work up training for it?

  • @texnation WOW, That's Amazing :) It's an incredible feeling to be able to breathe huh? I just completed a 5K last weekend. . .set a goal and work towards it :) We are are only competitor and we are already winners!! Best Of Luck! Congrats!!!!!

  • @buggerjlewis I got my lungs on June 30, FEV1 were at about 18% and are now around 71%, thanks for checking up, I just got cleared to move back home this week. Hoping to start training for a 5k, if my body can handle it.

  • @texnation Just checking in on you. . .did you get lungs yet? I hope so and I hope you are living life with a full breath of air :) Let me know~

  • @Jaywbarrett75 amazing! Keep it up :)

  • @buggerjlewis It's up to 74% as of today. O2 no less then 99%.

  • @buggerjlewis I MOST DEF WILL. I ACTUALLY HAVE A APPOINTMENT NEXT WEDNESDAY.
