A New Chapter Begins

Ok so as you guys know I have been working to get my weight up to the necessary 39kg so that I could be placed on the transplant list.Well yesterday was weight day and I am pleased to say my weight is 39.7kg( I know Im a wee Fatty but aw well) I know this probably sounds strange but I am actually thrilled, I know this probably doesn't say alot for my faith in God but there was alot of time between September(when I was first placed on the list for all of...a week) and then with the stupid abcess and me losing a load of weight I honestly doubted whether or not I would actually get to this stage because for months and months the weight just wasn't going on. Although I was sick when I was away I only lost like 0.4kg which was really good(probably all the good food at Center Parcs) so if anyone from the NHS is reading this Center Parcs trips are fantastic forms of treatment lol :).

Well anyways as of now although I am still in hospital I am on the list and the only thing we are waiting on now is THE CALL which really could come at anytime, which means for once in our lives the Barrs will have to be organised and once I get home I'll have to pack that bag ready to drop everything and go once the phone rings.

I swear people God truly works miracles. To consider that I have went from having a lung abcess(which is pretty serious) to being placed on the lung transplant list all in the space of 6 months is pretty amazing and something tells me He is not done working miracles just yet.

God Bless you all and thank you for your continued prayers

Back After A Lovely Break

Just a quick blog entry to let you know after a LONG 6 weeks in hospital I managed to get away to The Barrs favourite place in the World (Center Parcs) It was so nice to get away with the family for a while and just to chill out and the weather was FANTASTIC. However all I really managed to do was sit and drink Starbucks (who's complaining lol). We got back on Tuesday and I ended up back in hospital the very same day, however things aren't too bad and I think a few days of good physio and rest and I will be flying. On a postive note my weight hasn't budged which is good and now it is starting to go up again. We are getting oh so very close to the necessary 39kg.

On the school front there isn't really much to report other than we are still waiting for them to begin building which we are hoping will begin really soon.

Sorry for such a quick update
