I was diagnosed with Fibrosing Mediastinitis 23 years ago but it was actually 17 years ago today that I finally had an option to try putting stents in to my superior vena cava that was 100% occluded. I went in for a procedure not knowing what the outcome would be or if I would even come out of that surgery…

17 years later and I just wrapped up my annual follow up appointments with my cardiologist and pulmonologist! While some of my most recent results and symptoms have been discouraging and we have been in a challenging season for quite some time, I am extremely grateful for the life the Lord has blessed me with!

Always find something to smile about no matter how hard you might have to look some days, because when you look…you actually see just how much there is to smile about!
