Posted by Mollie's husband Steve:
3 Years ago today I got a call at work to go immediately the the ER, My wife Mollie was very sick. After several weeks in the hospital and several months of follow up visits and specialist we finally learned that she had Pulmonary Fibrosis. Unfortunately in her case the disease was serious and predicted to get worse, and it did. Over the past three years her use of oxygen to help her breath has increased. In June she was listed for a double lung transplant and we have been on 4-hour stand by ever since. Today 3-years to the day of when she was first hospitalized by this disease she was admitted at the Cleveland Clinic, no lung transplant yet, but her/our ability to manage her breathing and dependency on Oxygen has become to  much to handle at home. Tonight she is resting in the heart and lung transplant unit getting the oxygen therapy she needs while continuing to wait for the perfect set of donor lungs. So many of you have supported Mollie and I in so many ways over the past three years and I have just a few more request:

1. Pray for Mollie, that a match will be found, transplant will be done soon and her recovery will be swift and complication free.

2. Pray for my kids Jack and Riley who's new normal has been a sick Mom and they have been GREAT (so has Mollie), but now are stuck with Dad for a few months :)

3. Pray for the donors family, whoever they may be? for in order for Mollie to get a new lease on life someone elses family must suffer a great loss.

4. Be a donor, sorry to be blunt but most of my FB friends are firefighters, nurses and cops so you should get it; once your dead you don't need your heart, lungs, liver etc wouldn't it be great to save someone else's life if you could?

It has been amazing what I have learned and observed over the past three years, it puts a whole new perspective on life, priorities and faith. Mollie (and I) will be updating as our journey continues:.
