Please Pray

Last night one of my good friends and roomate from college, Melanie Rothwell Byrd, got the call. What call...she has CF (Cystic Fibrosis) and got the call that the PERFECT set of lungs has arrived and was ready for her. She entered surgery at 11:30ish last night for a lung transplant and ended around 6:00am this morning. The surgery went BEAUTIFULLY!! Please pray for her recovery.

We've been reading her website and I was so excited to hear her wonderful news. We'll continue to pray for her recovery and her new set of lungs!

How are you holding up with Ike?

My mom called me last night to tell me about Mel. I am glad to hear that the transplant went smoothly. Please keep us updated!! What hospital is she in? Thanks for letting us know and asking for prayers. It is always easier facing something knowing that God is on your side.

I thought of her a lot during my race. The charity was for CF and she was on my mind. I am so glad she is recovering well. Will you send me the site to her blog?
