Howdy Ivy!

I'm so sorry to hear what you have been going through. I KNOW how scary it is to feel like you can't get another breath. At that point, there isn't anything else in the world that matters, you are just frantic to get that next breath.

Keep hanging-in-there. Sometimes, I have to take it only one hour at a time. God bless you.

Love and Hugs,
Lori
