Today is my memaw & papaw's 50th wedding anniversary! Happy anniversary! I love you! Mommy has gone home until august 14; daddy is here with me in houston. Daddy is taking me to the zoo tomorrow. My lung function was 15 today so not much change.
Hello, my name is Erin Knight. I am thirteen years old, and I have cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a disease that can affect your lungs, liver, and pancreas. My CF has always affected my lungs more than anything else. For the past several years, I have had to go in the hospital every other month for at least 10-21 days. Chronic infections have caused a lot of damage to my lungs, so I need a new set of lungs. Right now my mommy and I are living in Houston, TX , where I am waiting on a new set of lungs for a double lung transplant. Living here without my family is hard, but I am excited about receiving my new lungs.
Normally, I live at home with my mommy & daddy, my sister Casey, and my puppy and kitty. I attend Calvary Baptist Church. I am a member of the band and an eighth grader at Waynesboro Middle School.
I am so blessed to have so many people who care about me and want to help. A fund has been established at Calvary Baptist Church for this purpose. Because with my new set of lungs, I can breathe deeper, feel better, and go home and live with my entire family once again.
Thank you, and God Bless You!
Erin Knight
