ONE. YEAR. AGO my family and friends got to hold me in their hands...literally! We got to hold and examine my old CF infected lungs. To say this wasn’t an emotional and remarkable day is so false! We had so crazy to really see these scared up lungs and thinking “how was I breathing?” “How was I staying alive?” Of course I had to say thank you for the 27.5 years of memories and life 💜 and a special thank you to my donor for giving me the gift of life and allowing me to get rid of those CF filled lungs and having healthy ones! ♻️ BECOME A DONOR AND SAVE UP TO 8 LIVES 💜 — • • • #TiffGotLungs #lungs4tiff #cysticfibrosis #cfawareness #curecf #doublelungtransplant #cfirl #saltycysters #youtube #cyster #fibro #love #laugh #hope #donatelife #organdonation #dream #donor #65roses #recycleyourself #taylorswift #thankful #justbreathe #spoonie #chronicloveclub #grateful #stanford #oldlungs #thankfor27years (at Stanford Health Care)

Start Each Day With A Grateful Heart 💜|| Three years ago today I was placed on the double lung transplant list at Stanford! I had no dry runs, I was blessed to be stable for a lot of the time. I started to go downhill last year to the point I wasn't able to walk to the bathroom without 6L of oxygen and coughing to the point I puked. I was on IV antibiotics every 3 weeks and going in and out of the hospital for lung infection after lung infection. It was safe to say my CF lungs were getting tired. — It wasn't until Thanksgiving 🦃🍂when I absolutely knew it was time for lungs. When I couldn't eat my thanksgiving dinner because I couldn't breathe, I knew I needed lungs more than ever. On November 30th, 2016, after waiting almost 2 years and 8 months, I was blessed with the call for new beautiful lungs from my angel donor. I can't express my gratitude and love for my donor and their family for this gift. Please if you are not a donor, please register 💜 give someone the gift of life like my donor did for me because without them and the amazing surgeons, nurses, and doctors at Stanford I wouldn't be here! It's seriously the greatest gift I've ever received 🙌🏼😊 — #TiffGotLungs #lungs4tiff #cysticfibrosis #doublelungtransplant #cfirl #saltycysters #youtube #cyster #fibro #love #laugh #hope #donatelife #organdonation #cfawareness #dream #donor #curecf #65roses #recycleyourself #cure #taylorswift #thankful #blessed #pray #stanford

When your #squad has you in their palm of their hands (Literally 😜) Holding my old CF infected lungs was such a treat and emotional experience. Seeing the disease process was so surreal to think I actually was sorta breathing with those puppies! They were troopers for 27 years. Now I have beautiful new ones from my donor 💜 I thank them every day and their family. If you aren't a donor yet, make sure you go sign up! Save a life or 8! I wouldn't be here if it hadn't been for my donor 🌹 — If you want to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation please come Preorder some fun activewear from @saltycysters 💜 This will help towards a cure for this horrific disease. — www.etsy.com/shop/saltycysters — #TiffgotLungs #cysticfibrosis #saltycysters #doublelungtransplant #lungs4tiff #organdonationawareness #cfawareness #curecf #donatelife #love #live #selfless #donor #cfirl #taylorswift #squadgoals #lungs #stanford

Hey @taylorswift I got new lungs!! Now I can shake it off without any worries! I am so grateful for my donor and their family and definitely you! Thank you for getting me through everything. This surgery was and has been a rough time but I put on 1989 with my physical therapist and occupational therapist and I got all my strength to keep going! I love you so much 💜 thank you for everything you do! I hope to see you soon with new breathers! @taylornationonline

My First PFT 💨💨|| To say I was nervous to do a PFT (pulmonary function test) is an understatement. This was the first time I did a PFT with my new lungs from my selfless donor! I blew a 57% and I almost cried from the pure excitement and happiness I felt 🤗💜 this is all with a pneumothorax. If you don't remember, my donor had a puncture in their lungs. So, the talented surgeons patched it up before placing their lungs into their new home! At this appointment we adjusted my medications, checked my X-ray and did blood work. I'm doing well and am getting stronger each day!😊 — I am so grateful for my new life. I pray and think about my donor and their family daily and am so blessed to have had them bless me with new lungs! If you haven't signed up to be a donor, please consider it. I wouldn't be here without my donor 💜♻️ — #TiffGotLungs #cysticfibrosis #doublelungtransplant #stanford #lungs4tiff #taylorswift #hope #love #dream #recycleyourself #ORGANize #donatelife #organdonation #lungs #justbreathe #breathe
