A Girl in PJs

Now that this pretty girl in PJs has survived her lung transplant, she has a lot to smile about. Her mom told me that she was never able to go swimming or enjoy many of the activities that healthy kids do, because she was on oxygen her whole life. Now she can.

Clear skies ahead for this brave girl who looks forward to life with a new pair of lungs.

The miracles of modern medicine have given this young girl a better life. She is looking forward to a happy future.

Meeting this patient was a meaningful experience for me. Our meeting caused me to reflect on what we take for granted, and why we ever feel sorry for ourselves. In these photos, I hope you read inspiration too.
