My husband was told he had asthma (he didn't) - and now - it's too late for him -
The severe damage that was done cannot be treated - and the suffering is tremendous. I've never heard him talk about dying till the other day - he was actually wishing he could just get it over with because he struggles so much to get a breath. He's on a transplant list but he won't live to receive it....even if we COULD afford it...which we can't.
It's a nasty soul-sucking disease. |
Villette, I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Is he on the list for lung transplant?
I have asthma and it is really tough. I can only imagine how much more difficult breathing is for someone who has COPD. I guess in a way I am lucky I have asthma...that is the only reason I never started smoking in the first place. God has a funny way of dealing with things, doesn't he?
