The Big Bad Breath (Wolf)






Hello Everyone!

Welcome to our Blog. We are attempting a tech unsavy blog to document my (this is Mitch writing now) Double-lung transplant. Please feel free to share this blog with anyone who might be interested. Brief history. I was diagnosed with CF (cystic fibrosis) 36 years ago at birth. My lungs are done and it is time for new ones. Of course we are leaving out alot of the drama and history, but this is a blog about the transplant and the future.

CF is causing my lungs to produce the Big Bad Breath. The story behind this is as follows: We are currently on our trip to UNC at Chapel Hill to finalize all the details for the transplant. We decided to stop in Williamsburg, VA and go to Busch Gardens. We all rode the Big Bad Wolf!! It was a big acccomplishment for the twins, Simon and Matias. We had a blast. Soon, the nickname for my CF, and theme of the trip while on the way to the hospital at Chapel Hill, became my Big Bad Breath. We all found this very funny and appropriate, hence the blog title. It also served as an easy and fun way for Simon and Matias to start to comprehend the journey ahead....

We hope to keep you all posted on the status as my transplant approaches and we can forever get rid of these lungs inside of me that give me such BIG BAD BREATH!!
