alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

On Christmas Day of 2011 I had been in the hospital with a collapsed lung and chest tube for 3 days. This was only the beginning of what will become a long battle. The doctor came in as a substitute for my doctor and he says "Ms. Trivett the reason your lung collapsed is because you have a lung disease and its not curable but its treatable. So then I decided to do some research for myself with my best friend and we found out a lot. I know that my disease is heredity and I more than likely passed it down to my son. I don't know what will happen from here on out but i do feel like I will die young. My case is a little more harsh than most because I smoked for 10 years on top of having the disease. I want to make peace with all of my enemies before the Lord takes me home. I am very thankful that the Lord has made me have such a fun and fulfilling life. I hope to be a strong symbol for the Lord and show others what unconditional love feels like. I want them to forgive like we have been forgiven.
