Second, ther...First, those pictures are adorable!!! Second, there is research that has discovered how to get more alveoli to grow in a person's lungs. It involves isolating the own person's stem cells from their bronchioles and using them to seed the lungs where they create new alveoli. The great news with this approach is that the person will not need anti-rejection drugs and the new alveoli will last as long as the lungs themselves. The downside is that it is new research and won't be available for several years. Keep an eye out for clinical trials to begin with this or other similar methods. This could be the answer to your prayers.

I LOVE the pictures of Harlie.... playing dolls, and hiding in the box. So classic! My hope is that Harlie continues to surprise us and the doctors like she has her whole life. She's a fighter! This isn't going to be easy but I know you will continue with the same grace we've seen these past 7 years. Don't ever doubt that. You, Harlie, your family....you are amazing. More than anything I wish things were easier for you all, especially for Harlie's sake, but I hold onto depth of the LOVE I know you have been able to experience with Harlie these 7 years because of all she's been through. You will do what has to be done and love her along the way. XOXO.
