(#angelswait) "Today is Angel's 14th birthday and today she was discharged. Two weeks ago, my daughter received the best gift anyone can ask for: a second chance to breathe. And not to just breathe, but a second chance to really live. #becauseofanorgandonor my daughter can sing without having to catch her breath between lines. Two weeks ago we were anxiously waiting to hear news if the bone marrow also matched when the lung transplant doctor walked into the room and asked Angel if she was scared. She nodded yes. He said, 'Well, you should be. If you're not then you don't belong here.' He looked at me and asked the same question. Was I scared? No. Was that a bad thing? Before THE CALL, I had come to some sort of acceptance that Angel would not ever be transplanted. Maybe it was my way of coping with the inevitable. My daughter was no longer living — just existing — chained to an oxygen concentrator. I had been watching this awful lung disease slowly kill my child for over two years. It was a nightmare. Angel's wait for lungs is over but now her transplant journey begins. And I know she'll go on to do great things. She'll make her donor proud.” – @the_waitinglist contributor Sara Boston of Reading, PA. Sara’s daughter Angel received a #lungtransplant on September 24, 2015.
