To Catch My Breath (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Buddy Norris | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

When a routine visit to the optometrist revealed an inflamed nerve, Buddy Norris didn't worry about it.

He figured antibiotics could handle something like that.

Buddy didn't realize that he and his wife, Amy, were about to plunge into a life-or-death battle that would take them on a complex journey in search of hope, faith, and a new set of lungs.

In 2010, doctors diagnosed Buddy with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which inevitably results in death from respiratory failure without a double lung transplant - a transplant Buddy wouldn't qualify to receive.

To Catch My Breath is an unflinchingly honest account of one man's struggle with an array of doctors, hospitals, and a system that seemed determined to beat him. It's also a story of courage and perseverance for anyone facing an organ transplant.

In this book, Buddy reveals the tough realities of waiting for an organ and the challenges transplant recipients face after surgery. His story provides down-to-earth information for people awaiting transplants, and it honors the families of organ donors brave enough to leave their lungs, hearts, or kidneys on earth after they left.

Through his and Amy's memories, Buddy weaves an intimate and powerful testimony to God's providence, his wife's faithfulness, and his own unbroken spirit.
