Hi Justine, I found you're site from of all places the palm m105 forum; I pray that God gives you strength physically and mentally as you battle this disease; I was dianosed with leukemia and have had quite a year but I'm sure it's nothing compared to what you are going through; Hang in there and remember God's with you in this battle; I'll have my prayer warriors pray that a donor is found soon and you are once again healthy; God bless-

Firstly, absolutely amazed at the progress you are making Justine - its such an indicator of what a tremendous fighter you have been over the last few weeks; Your resilience at overcoming setback after setback has been tremendously inspiring;;;

My God its warm today - supposed to be 26 degrees - the newsroom here is stifling; One of the updates a few days back made me smile; A word was ommitted so it read;;;;Justine had a good day yesterday; She ate a hearty evening; Now that WOULD be a good day LOL

Hopefully the possibility of a single lung transplant might quicken the wait for a donor organ; The wait for a double lung transplant is really unacceptable - it just emphasises how much more people need to be aware of the importance of organ donation;

Nurse, can you get Justine an Ice Pop!

Dear Justine,
It's Clare here the girl who used to come and take your bloods for testing every day, I am now back in Out Patients so I dont get to see you everyday like I used to;
I am so glad to hear that you are doing so well, guess all those bugs have been blasted from your blood now, right?;
I will pop in and see you again soon, Im sure Michelle will keep me up to date on how you are doing;
Im sure I will see a real improvement when I see you again;
Love Clare xx

To dear Justine,

Have been trying to catch up with all your news via the diary, and sounds like youve had many good and bad days, but still as usual you are towering on and still managing to keep your chin up and sounding positive; A big well done to you - you make everyone very proud to know you and amaze us with your strength;

Well the wedding and honeymoon is well and truly over, back at work today but actually its not that bad - it always sems worse than it actually is;

The wedding was excellent, all went really well and smoothly - and was totally overwelming but wonderful too;
The honeymoon in Mauritius was really great too, such a beautiful island with so many different cultures, you could be in India, Asia and Africa all at once;

It was really lovely to see Jon and to catch up with him, even if you were not there in body you were certainly in all our thoughts; Thanks so much for the lovely card it was really very thoughtful of you, as always!

Well, back to do some work and plod on with the day;

Take care lovely and keep up the good work - 4lbs hey, very well done!

Lots of Love
Gav and Den;

Dear Justine,

This poem was meant to have reached you in a letter by now but certain parts needed tinkering so here goes version two:

------------------------------------
The Invisible Strings

I never glimpsed the strings, neither high or low
The most angelic of puppets, quivered & weaved
As the autumn breeze slowly grew stronger
Natures kaleidoscopic pinocchio, fluttered sirenely;

Each dance is exclusive and truly unique
This dance had but an audience of one
Todays performance was watched in silent awe
Entranced, enthralled & completely beguiled;

Although in my true heart of hearts
The exquisite butterfly danced solely for YOU;

------------------------------------
Not been upto much today except shopping for presents (family b'day tonight) & getting more animal piccies developed; Animals are SO cool!

Miss you oodles and keep up the good work; All my luck, love and (not that poetic) words are all yours,

Olly

Hi sweetie
I woke during the nite and while trying to get back to sleep, u popped into my mind, i realised that u had not been on msn for a while; I started to worry! I just had to get up go, to your website to make sure u were ok; After reading your diary entries, i was astonished! I want to send you lots of big hugs and kisses, keep fighting sweetheart and im still praying for you that the transplant is round the corner; So sorry not been in touch, things not been easy; hopefully speak very soon! xxxxxxx

Dear Justine,

Not sure if its me but could not find you latest diary entry so will have to enjoy that when I get back to the families house;

The sparkling sun is radient & as bright as a lone star in the night sky; Obviously something so beautiful makes me think of you my dear; Have a super Tuesday, I am off to catch a bus; The only trouble with carrying your world on your back is the weight (I will have to leave the hairdryer at home next time); I am sure I look like a slow moving snail - with his house on his back when I walk along the street;

See you in while crocodile,

Love

Hi Justine, I've been checking in on your webpage weekly, hoping that you get the transplant soon; I remember being very ill like that years ago; I'm still waiting for a Lung(s)transplant; I've been waiting for two years now, doing okay, just need more oxygen to do the everyday chores; I want you to know that I'm praying for you and hoping that they find a set of lungs for you; Good luck!!!

Dear Justine,

I wrote this while I was away on Fraser Island; I hope you enjoy it, still not great but slowly getting there with a bit of practise;

The Waters Whisper

When I was just a wee young boy,
I didn't enjoy the tickly feeling of sand,
When lodged between my tiny toes,
So I'd devote my time to water not land,

Even now as the years meander by,
I dare not sit under the sun's gaze,
Even on a snow white powder beach,
I am still loathed to idle and laze;

The waters turquoise eyes reflect fluffy clouds,
Whether those of brook, creek or billabong,
The waters whisper wafts along the breeze,
Once heard, I answer her melodious song,

A fish leaps, breaking the mirrored surface,
Causing orbital ripples, two never the same,
Now to float, to frolic, to play & paddle,
The snug waters still murmuring a name;

Let your mind wander & imagination float free,
And for one long minute close your eyes,
Feel the warm water, lapping over your toes,
Listen close for the waters whispered surprise;

love Olly

Dear Justine,

So glad to back on Terra firma, it feels strange being out of touch with your website; I feel like I have been to the moon almost, to be out of touch for days & days has felt very strange;

The internet, what a winner; I have been so glad to read that you appear to have your appetite back; Good on you girl; Still I am sure you look good enough for visitors already but you will think my opinion is slightly biased;

I honestly wish i could be one of the visitors waiting on the list to see the most popular girl in town!

I finally got to see pure bred dingo's and have been smiling like a cheshire cat for days; You were with me every step of the way that trip, I swam nearly 1km across Lake Mckenzie & you were there with me in my thoughts as I slowly meandered across the lake;

I found the inspiration for another poem for you whilst there but I have just got to go to the library to check the old Thesasaurus first on a few bothersome words;

If Leila reads this, how can we get in touch to sponsor her? Doing a skydive sounds awfully brave in my book so I would feel privileged to sponsor such a daunting escapade; Good work Leila!!

Well, see you later alligator, and I will get that poem to you post haste;

All my luck, love, hugs, kisses are en-route as you read this

Olly

p;s I got a cool picture of a goanna (green & grey) that was about 3 feet long which is in the post as i type;

Hey Justine,

BAB2000, brighthand;com forum moderator, asked folks to leave you a message; I'm new to the forum but not new to knowing the hardship of being in need of love and medical care;

Just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you and I'm a believer in prayer, so here goes a prayer to you ;;; hope you felt a little hug from that;

God bless,

Hey Justine!
Was a little worried cos I check your site every day and there were no updates for a while - hence I panicked!
Anyways, good to see you are back on track again after yet another rough patch! Your Courage and strength really does amaze me, which leads me on to this; I received this e-mail from a friend and it made me think of you, so I have typed it for you to see what you think:

A friend of mineopened his wife's underwear drawer & picked up a silk paper wrapped package:
"This - he said - isn't any ordinary package;"
He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box;
"She got this the first time we went to New York 8 or 9 years ago; She has never put it on, was saving it for a special occasion; Well, I guess this is it; He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died; He turned to me and said:
"Never save something for a special occasion; Every day of your life is a special occasion";
I still think those words changed my life;
Now I read more and clean less;
I sit on the porch without worrying about anything;
I spend more time with my family, & less at work;
I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through; I no longer keep anything; I use crystal glasses every day; I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it;
I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to; The words "someday;;;" and "One Day;;;" are fading away from my dictionary; If its worth seeing, listening or doing, I wasnt to see, listen or do it now I don't know what my friends wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell; I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends;
She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels; I'd like to think she would go out for a chinese, her favourite food; It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come;
I would regret it because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, lettres;;;that I wanted to write
"One of these days;"
I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't say to my brother and sisters, son and daughters, not enough times at least, how much
I love them;
Now I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that would bring laughter and joy into our lives;;;
And on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day;;;
Each day, each hour, each minute, is special;

If you got this message its because someone cares for you and because, probably, there is someone you care about;

Justine, from the first time I read this it made me think of you, your courage, strength and true determination;
I am always here for you my dear friend,
Much love,
Gemma -x-

Hi Justine So glad you had a better day and are feeling more like your old self again; I have been following your diary after looking at the BFL web-site; I am praying for you Justine, you are in my prayers everyday and on our prayer board at church; So mega prayers!!! I've got bronchiectasis and asthma and have to do physio on my lungs everyday; It has taken me a year to finally accept it and now I am getting on with my life but it's difficult sometimes; I thought you might be interested in hearing that I have just taken up ballroom dancing; I've always wanted to do it and I'm really enjoying it even though I'm soooo stiff the next day; (I'm 54 next week!) I can do very slow waltz! a square tango and foxtrot; I'm quite proud of myself though but I know I need more exercise; I also enjoy playing piano and taught beginners a few years ago; I go to a local support group and we have our own web-site which my son Andrew set up for us;It's www;lungsforlife;co;uk; We are a formal group now and are hoping to help others with lung disease; Well, bye for now Justine; I know you must get a lot of support from family and friends not forgetting those wonderful Doctors and Nurses; God Bless xxx Elaine

Hi Justasglamourousnomatterwhat!

Oh come on;;;;you will always be a kitten, tubes or no tubes; Anyway glad that you are progressing well; Use my motto, just keep on eating; My mother said whilst I was looking after her, Mark the amount you eat, I am surprised you are not 18 stone;

Back at work now in London; Very busy as have 3 days to catch up on; The time off as you know was definately not a rest - mothers can be very demanding; But she is on the mend now; We just need to sort you out now;

I hope you are in okay spirits? Let me know if you need me to send you anything to keep you entertained; I hope you will?

I might go for a little boogy on Friday night and will have a little move on the dance floor for you; Might even do a little street that you taught me;

Love you seahorse;

Hi Justine,
I was up at harefield yesterday for my 6 monthly check and i asked after you and they said you seem ok at mo but obviousloy couldn't tell me much because of patient confidentiality, which is fair enough, My lungs are still rubbish and still waiting for me new one, had a scary moment a few weeks ago i was watchings kims son play football and i walked back to the car and my oxygen saturation level went down to 56% which was a bit scary but ok at mo; I do wonder how low it CAN go lol; Take care; Regards

Dear Justine,

Nice to read your latest entry on your current highs & lows of your stint in the hospital; Your diary will make a truly inspirational book, I am positive it will make people sit up and want to do more with the life they have been given;

Your mum's homemade soup sounds like a real winner (chicken dinner! ho ho); As soon as I am back i will get my beloved soup-pot out of storage and knock you up something nice; I used to love making soups for the boys (although JK would always add too much extra salt to his serving - he is quite like my ma in that respect); He even stood by the pot (that I had been working on for hours) with the mega hot chilli powder in his hand; He had not put any in but I did not know this so I exploded at him, only for him to start laughing; That fiance of yours is a legend;

Well I am off on a trip to Fraser Island so I won't be in touch for a few days; You'll be with me every step of the way;

I hope the good days always outweigh the bad, all my love

Olly

p;s; I saw the coolest lizard today, it was grey with white spots, spikey skin and over 50cm long; It let me bring my chair to within a few feet of it; I got so close I could see its sides expanding & contracting; It was the second best 20 minutes of my day, the 1st being writing to my fav lass!

Hello Babes,

We've been keeping tabs on your progress now,(i did try and post a message a week ago, but for some reason - it failed, but no matter) I am trying again today;

Have been on "tender-hooks" everytime I catch up on the progress updates, hoping that this will be the day you get your news, we have both been keeping vigil - thinking and wishing that you get better soon;

We do take a lot for granted, our bodies just cope whatever we throw at them; so i thought i'd throw in a bike ride in our local forest; Hmm, needless to say, sore bots and bruised pride (at how unfit I am); So i'm going back out again, and trying to get fit;

When you get better, I'll show you around, take you on those hair-raising hill drops;;; (lots of fun); We've got plenty of room here (and enough bikes for some reason?!?) - so bring Jon too and some dutch courage;;;

Stay positive - keep up the exercises and put that weight back on; But it also sounds like I'm also gonna have to scour the country to look for a "Flames" burger - with everything and dripping with Garlic Mayo!!! Not forgetting a whole bucket of chips and really good night out at the Casino to top it off;;; (don't worry i've reserved your place;;; just get better)

Well I hope that wets your appetite; Ok now I've got to dust the tent and get my bike gear ready, we're up to Snowdonia this weekend;;;

PS - get back to MSN quick, i miss you;

(An extra note to the rest of your family (inc Jon) - Thank you; You're all doing great!)

Hi Justine,

Just a quick message as I havent done any of my physio or nebulisers yet today (oops) Sorry to hear you have had a rough couple of days again, I hope that things pick up for a smooth week ahead; Keep on fighting, focus on those moments when you can feel an improvement and really try and absorb them and lock them in for when things get bumpy (I dont know if that makes any sense, its just something I did last summer);

Thinking of you and sending as many inflatey thoughts and positive vibes your way as possible;;;;come on those new lungs!

Dear Justine,

Good (in fact gggreat!) to read another excellent diary extract; I do know how you feel about spending endless days in hospital but just think how much you will appreciate getting out of there - when you do get your transplant; Your everyday walk in the park will take on whole new perspective, it will be like magic;

Floating on a smooth green bed of grass, listening to the twitter of birds and the fallen leaves rustle carelessly underfoot; Hopefully this will not be too far round the corner;

I went to an ANZAC parade today in Brisbane before catching the train; It was wonderful to see so many children smiling & waving at the old soldiers who had fought for Australia in the wars; Both the old men & the kids looked delighted to be there; Funny thing was that i got caught on the wrong side of the parade (literally kilometres long); I could not get back to the train station; In the end I had to beg a policeman to open a barrier and let me dash across to the other side (as my rucksack was already on the train);

Take care and I hope you put on those extra pounds, still miss you loads but not as much as I will miss you tomorrow;

All my love and thoughts enroute

Hello Justine

Back looking after my mum at the moment in Suffolk after she has had her replacement knee operation; I collected her from hospital yesterday; She is in alot of pain, even with the pain killers;

I am good however and desperately trying to find a place to go on holiday and someone to go with; I am going to Italy soon, but the person I am going with keeps postponing; I have not had a holiday for about a year! Gasping for one;

I keep trying to go outside to do some gardening whilst I have the chance, but the weather is a little unpredicatable, so watching heaps of movies instead; Seen some great ones;

Signing out for now; A really big hug from me and all my love; Missing you;

Hi Justine

Sorry you have had a bad time of late; I have been catching up with your brother; Your diary still shows your strength of character and postivity that WILL get you through;

Everyone from Enfield sends their love as do I; I thought of you yesterday as I was running the London Marathon; After 20 miles, nursing a back injury, I though "If Justine remains so positive, then so can I, I only have a damaged muscle" and I made it in 4 hours 8 mins; You are an inspiration!

I ran for the Kidney foundation as Paul's sister had a successful kidney transplant in January; She has had her ups and downs but is now very well; Let's hope you are strong soon and recovered for the next donar available and then you can start your new life too;

Lots of Love

Dear Justine
I have just been reading your website and the difficult position you find yourself in and yet along with that comes a sense of enormous positivity which can only be commended; I was truly sobering to read your comments and daily struggles and if anything it should make people like myself have more respect for those that are suffering; Thank you for your amazing example in how to live a life to the full; I am also quite interested in your artwork as I am a proffessional portrait artist myself; I love the painting you have done called "Fairground"; Are your paintings for sale or are they merely a hobby, the contents of which you wish to keep? I would appreciate it if you could mail me back and I will certainly be staying in contact and keeping an eye on your day to day progress; take care; Matt

Hey luvvy - how's trick today? What's this I hear that you've had another pneumo? Are you sure you haven't struck up a sponsorship deal with someone who's paying you money for every pneumo you develop? Let's see now, I reckon, Kwik-Fit are using you as their mascot! Talking of sponsorship, there was a woman running in today's London marathon with an oxygen cylider; Shame you didn't enter - can you imagine the interest you'd have raised, not to mention eyebrows and money, as half of Harefield's finest pushed you across the finishing line in your hospital bed; There's a missed opportunity because by this time next year, you'll be watching the runners on telly from the comfort of your home; Chin up! Big, big hug, g;

Dear Justine,

Sorry to hear you had another bad night, not sure whether you got the last messages over the weekend so hear is another smashing passage from the childrens book I have just finished; Would be nice if I could read this passage to you myself, it oozes feelings & smells; - Wind in the Willows -

"the girl returned, she carried a tray with a cup of fragrant tea steaming on it; & a plate piled up with very hot butterd toast, cut think, very brown on both sides, with the butter running through the holes in it in great golden drops, like honey from the honeycomb;

The smell of that buttered toast simply talked to Toad, & with no uncertain voice; talked of warm kitchens, of breakfasts on bright frosty mornings, of cosy parlour fires-sides on winter evenings, when ones ramble was over & slippered feet were propped on the fender; of the purring of contented cats, & the twitter of sleepy canaries";

The colours, smells & wonderful images that the passage brings to life; They literally leap & bound from the page; I honestly thought I could smell toast having read this passage again; Hopefully someone you love will read you this and it will brighten your day a little; Love you oodles and miss you millons,

Olly

p;s not sure what fender means in this context so will have to find out;

p;p;s mmhhh - toast!

Dear Justine,

Thinking of you my dear, not sure what the latest news is - as with time difference it is probably effecting when the updates appear; Anyway i thought todays note could be slightly different from usual;

Maybe you could get your boy JK or your Ma to read this passage out to you; in there most soothing tone, close your eyes and see what images spring to mind; I have loved reading this book more than anything I have picked up in two years

"He thought his happiness complete when, as he meandered aimlessly along, suddenly he stood by the edge of a full-fed river; NEVER in his life had he seen a river before - this sleek, sinuous, full bodied animal, chasing & chuckling, gripping things with a gurgle & leaving them with a laugh, to fling itself on fresh playmates that shook themselves free, and were caught & held again; All was a shake & shiver - glints & gleams & sparkles, rustle & swirl, chatter & bubble;

The mole was bewitched, entranced, fascinated; by the side of the river he trotted as one trots, when very small, by the side of a man who holds one spellbound by exciting stories; & when tired at last, he sat by the bank, while the river chattered on to HIM, a babbling procession of the best stories in the WORLD, sent from the heart of the earth to be told at last to the insatiable seas";

An extract from Wind in the Willows;

A childrens book that has made me think, even check the dictionary & primarily - given me a tingle down my very spine with sheer enjoyment as the words float from the page into my head;

All my Saturday love & luck is in flight,

Olly

p;s; wish I could be reading it you myself;

Dear Justine,

Sorry to her that you had a difficult night but hope this Friday brings you a little respite from your worries; Still praying for those lungs to come winging their way along asap;

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum today; I went to the barbers, not a haridresser, a salon or a recognised master in coiffuring - but an honest to goodness barber; George in fact, the 69yr old Aussie; He was asleep in one of the waiting chairs when I entered his tiny tiny backstreet barber; I said "excuse me sir' ever so softly but felt it would be rude to wake him; I sat in the chair reading Wind in the Willows for 30mins until one of his regulars came and knocked his elbow from the arm of the chair; "hello, hello, how long have you been waiting young man?" - only two minutes sir, no worries! He turned out to be a gem of a man, awfully polite and i got a pretty good number 2 all over;

Still the whole situation made me smile for a fair while today so thought I would share it with my lovely compadre;

All my love,

olly

Hey Justine, it was so wonderful to meet you face to face yesterday, how do you still manage to look radiant despite all you have been through?! I swear I looked more drawn and run down in the summer, I dont know how you do it! I am really chuffed you recognised me, it was rather amusing sitting in our ajacent wheelchairs blocking the corridor whilst we talked; I was amazed by how much you were able to speak, (or whisper!) yet another sign of just how tough and determined you are; I recognised the look in your eyes hon, it was the look that I would stare at myself in the mirror with, when I was first out of bed after my op and still fluctuating between dire and pretty damn bad; fearful but determined; You can do this, I have everything crossed that you will be called really soon;

My appointment went fine, they didnt tell me anything new anyway! I was sent home with a 24 hour tape to check out my heart which has been dancing about merrily, but that was about as interesting as it got luckily; Just a question of sitting and waiting and hoping really isnt it; And in the meantime talking till people tell me to shut up about the shortage of donors issue of course!

You are doing so well (I know I keep saying it but it is true) keep on fighting, one day at a time; I am doing two interviews on BBC southern counties tomorrow and will be badgering anyone listening to stop and think about the issue of organ donation! We will get there Justine, stay positive and keep believing;;;

sending lots of love; xx

Hey You!

Been away for Easter in a beautiful cottage in the Chilten Downs; Was quite good weather and managed to relax; I went with my house mates;

Off work next week as my mum is in hospital today having a replacement knee operation; She seems quite calm; So dutiful son is going to wait on her hand and foot, until she is feeling better;

Would love to come and see you sometime, but I am not sure of visiting hours and more importantly if you are now up for any gentlemen callers!

It would be great to see that smile again;

Thinking of you!

Dear Justine,

What a bad memory i must have, how could I have forgotten to send you some seriously cheesy egg related jokes, especially considering Easter has just passed:

Why did the chicken lay the egg?
Because it would have broke if she dropped it!

What days to eggs really hate?
Fryday

Why can't you tease an egg?
It can't take a yolk!

What do you call an egg on safari?
Eggs-plorer

How many eggs does it take to change a lightbulb?
None, eggs don't have hands!

What happens when you tell an egg a joke?
It cracks up!

i hope you are feeling great this thursday and still enjoying your food; Still missing you very much but have booked my flight home now, so will be flying back with Simon on Oct 23rd;

Watched Ice-Age 2 yesterday, funny but would have been better if the cinema was packed with kids to cover my raucous laughter; Take care me sweet and will be in touch tomorrow;

lots of love & kisses,

Olly

I recently lost my 54 year old mother to a similar disease, and wanted to let you know you are an inspiration;

To see the photos, and be reminded of the;;;how did the doctor once put it(I felt like punching him in the face;) Oxygen lifestyle;;;made me sad, and proud at the same time;

My entire perspective has changed on life, and you deserve better; You will get your lungs;

Take care,

Dear Justine,

Great to read your diary entry and a big hello back to you my dear; Always makes my day to read your feeling a little brighter than the day before; It is sunny by my window so I hope that it reaches you on this fine day;

I am a little tired today as was awake at 4;25am to watch the Champions League footy, I love my footy but it makers me feel more homesick because I always used to watch it with JK, Chris or my ma;

I am off for a cinema bonanza today, it is the wedding anniversary of the couple I am staying with, so thought I had better make myself scarce;

Take care and hope the improvement keeps up; As always you are never far from my thoughts,

All my love and hugs,

Ollie

Yo Justine!

You know I am a big Elvis fan - well, one of his favourite books of all time was a title called The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran; It's a beautifully written exploration on life and I am copying this excerpt which deals with joy and sorrow; The last few weeks and months may have been sorrow Justine - but joy is just around the corner; You WILL get your transplant - you WILL have your dream wedding - and you WILL continue to touch everyone's lives

Trev X

THEN a woman said, Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow;

And he answered:

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked;

And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears;

And how else can it be?

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain;

Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?

And is not the lute that soothes your
spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

When you are joyous, look deep into
your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy;

When you are sorrowful look again in
your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight;

Some of you say, "Joy is greater than
sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater;"

But I say unto you, they are inseparable;

Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed;

Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy;

Only when you are empty are you at
standstill and balanced;

When the treasure-keeper lifts you to
weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall;

-excerpt from The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran

Trevor O Sullivan

Hi Justine

I was very upset when I heard that the transplant did not take place - gutted for you - but because of the immunosuppresion you will be on post transplant they have to be super careful; You are top priority now so I am praying that another call will come soon and this time you will be free of any infection and the new lungs will be perfect for you

As dissapointing and upsetting as it was to miss out on the transplant - try to remember that you have made massive strides and are closer now to the operation than you ever have been before; I am amazed at the progress you have made in your breathing - I feel like cheering every time I read that your respiration support has been reduced a little more

You deserve this transplant so much Justine - you are a super human being with such beautiful creativity, the spirit and courage you have shown in the last few weeks should make everyone who has met you reassess what is important in life; You are touching everyone who comes into contact with you - you truly are a special person

I really can't wait to see you Justine - there's a handful of people in life who inspire me and you are definitely on that shortlist; Words can't elucidate how much I admire the qualities you possess and have shown as a person;

I do however sense a weakness in that steel willed persona; It seems to me that just like Superman's problem with Kryptonite your nemesis is ICE CREAM :) - Whether its Vanilla or Strawberry I can be guaranteed that every few news updates carries a mention of it; Glad you are enjoying your Ice Cream treats Justine :)

So - sometime in the future I will ring you up and ask "Justine, do you wanna go for an Ice Cream or a Frappacino" and it will take you an age to answer - before finally saying "lets have both"

Talk to you soon Justine - and remember I am thinking of you and praying for you ever day - the call will come - nearly everyone has a false alarm like you did the last day - it is sadly par for the course - but that doesnt make it any easier; Keep thinking positive thoughts and envisage yourself getting the call soon; You are a STAR!

Hey honey,

Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while; Been trapped on a small (unstable) sail boat anchored in Wineglass Bay in Tasmania with my spanish cousins; It's been about -30 degrees, or at least it felt like it; I now have a huge cold and was sea sick all the way; Not pleasant, but a far cry from the traumas and tribulations you have been through; I am so sorry to hear about the transplant not coming good, but on a positive note it shows that it is just around the corner and can come any day; So my fingers, toes and everything else will remain crossed and my spirit and hope will join yours and everyones around the world as we pray for you to get better and your transplant to come;

My cold is so rotten I'm even getting weird oasis hallucinations of Ollie's hot vegetable broth, which is a scary thought in itself;

Stay fighting my lovely and look forward to taking you and JK out for a treat when I return to blighty in October this year :)

All my love, hugs and kisses (even to JK too!)

Mikey

P;S; Could you ask spencer or your dad to email me your postal address; I have some DVD's I would like to send you if you are still able to watch them in your ward;

Dear Justine,

A very happy Tuesday to you; Sounds like you had a cool meal yesterday, a trio of ice-cream sounds very tempting indeed; Makes me want to go and raid the freezer, in fact;

Glad you got to see some visitors as well, just wish one of them could be me;

Still staying with family but planning the next leg of my trip; Been getting to know oodles of new members of the ever extending family which is marvellous; No-one noticed I had $4 shoes on at the wedding, in fact I was asked to read out a mickey take message from Prince Charles (!) for the bride & groom in my poshest voice (as I was one of the only pommies there); Went down quite well; You know me, never one to turn down an opportunity to speak in front of a crowd;

I hope your day exudes enjoyment & happiness;

Love and hugs

Gill Hollis, LAM patient & transplantee

Sorry to hear that you got so near, but didn't get these lungs; No wonder you are disappointed, but at least you know now for certain that you are at the top of the list when a match comes up!

I had one false alarm, but it helped me understand the whole process better, and also made me more ready for when my turn actually came; I was also feeling far fitter and better when I received my new lung than when I got called for my false alarm;

I think it will be the same for you - you will get your strength back after your current infection and be in better shape to receive the lungs that have your name on them!

Good luck - and glad to hear you are feeling better today;

Oliver

Dear Justine, Just read the latest update and am so glad you are feeling a little brighter; I said in the note this morning words could not describe how I felt but this was incorrect;

To Our Courageous Beauty in Blighty:

The son was radient, the day was bright,
Your news turned my day to darkest night,
I wished somehow to help your plight,

I felt so helpless & uncontrollably sad,
To be a world away, enough to drive me mad;

My sadness leaked out in ice-cold tears,
knowing I could not allay your fears,

My emotions & feelings were in a fluster,
nothing compared to yours my friend,
So gather all the strength that you can muster,
your now at the beginning again, not the end;

Words can only alleviate a little pain,
More's the pity, mores the shame;

Yet, it behoves us all to pray as one;
For a daughter, for a sister, For our Justine;
For our friend, who is due years of fun,
For all the upcoming happiness as yet unseen

I hope that your unseen happiness is just around the corner; All my love goes to you, JK and the family;

Dear Justine,

There aren't words to desribe how upset I felt for you when I checked your site this Easter Sunday; I was hoping so much that this was the opportunity that you had been longing for;

I know you must be at a low ebb right now but JK, your family and your worldwide network of friends are ALL rooting for you; We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers; I hope that you can get this infection cleared up and that some new lungs come around that corner again, very soon;

You are a smashing girl and with the number of setbacks you have had this year you would be forgiven for being a upset today; However you have been through so much and fought back time and time again, this is another occasion when you spirt & resolve is being testd to the max; I pray that you can bounce back quickly and keep your chin up when things seem at their darkest;

Good luck tiger and all my love is flying over the water,

But hey, this was your "test run", your practice, and now you are all ready for the real thing! Which hopefully is just round the corner; And it just shows that you are right at the top now, so hopefully your call will come really soon, you just have to get ontop of this infection which I know you can do as you are one tough cookie!

Happy Easter, thinking of you, stay strong, keep fighting, small steps;;;

Sorry to hear that you have been blue and not had such a good night; I pray that you fell better shortly and have a good 'Good Friday';

I am positive of one thing, the Easter Bunny certainly visits hospitals so keep an ear to the ground for him; I saw a beautiful butterfly today and thought of you; It inspired another poem but I have posted it to you so you will have to wait a few days;

Still miss you oodles but not as much as I will miss you tomorrow; PMA is coming your way;
