Описание: When Shirley Larsen woke one winters night in June 1984, in excruciating pain from an egg-sized swelling on her right wrist, little did she know what fate had in store. Diagnosed later with rheumatoid arthritis, complications of which would rapidly destroy her lung tissue, she faced certain death. This is the remarkable story of an ordinary Australian familys struggle to save the life of a beloved wife and mother, against seemingly overwhelming odds, and with no cure available in Australia. With only weeks to live, it soon becomes a desperate crusade that eventually transports Shirley, critically ill and attached to an oxygen cylinder, to England, culminating in a dramatically successful heart and lungs transplant in a London hospital. We are taken perceptively into the patients and the physicians challenging world of organ transplantation with its opposing and overwhelming emotions of uplifting elation and traumatic heartache. Revealed in the text are the obfuscations of an ineffective government hierarchy unwilling to acknowledge the rights of two of its citizens and an equally convoluted bureaucracy. Refreshingly, the overwhelming support of the trade union movement both in Australia and in Britain brings its own heart-warming consolation. Shirley Larsens extraordinary story will give hope to those critically ill Australians who are desperately waiting for the chance to live a healthy life by having an organ transplant. It should also arouse in others the noblest of human instincts -- altruism -- by becoming organ donors.

Описание: Can you imagine sucking air through the tiny hole in your closed fist or spending twenty-four hours sucking air in and out through a plastic straw? Imagining is hard when breath comes easily to you. It is something humans do every day. Something we all take for granted. Breathing was a luxury Leanne thought she would always have...

Описание:

There was no cure. There were no more treatments or medications that could help. No way of reversing the years of lung damage, scarring, infection, or inflammation. Both of my lungs were no longer able to adequately provide oxygen to the cells in my body. Carbon dioxide was building up in my bloodstream to a dangerous level. The excessive, forceful coughing was popping holes in my lungs and causing them to deflate. I could no longer live with my lungs. It was time for double lung transplant, the last resort."

Born with Cystic Fibrosis, a chronic, progressive, life-threatening illness, Kelly was told she would only live to 18 years old. She surpassed the statistic, and at age 29, was officially placed on the national wait list for a double lung transplant. Doctors said there was a 1% chance of finding a donor match for this life-saving transplant. Kelly's wait for her new lungs was full of hardships and resilience, but through it all, she found her faith and whole new life.

Breathe Deep is a true, inspirational story about beating the odds. Life is full of trials and tribulations, and Breathe Deep will inspire you to make the most out of your life, strengthen your faith, and have HOPE.

THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU, AND YOU NEED ONLY TO BE STILL. Exodus 14:14
