Please reblog this to get anyone you know to pray and keep my cousin in their thoughts. 

To inform everyone who’s asking why today was such a terrible day, this is my cousin.  She’s 11 years old and has chronic cystic fibrosis so she’s in and out of the hospital all the time for her lung disease, and constantly taking medications and doing breathing treatments. Well about an hour ago I was informed that she was admitted into the hospital because one of her lungs collapsed due to multiple infections.  She is getting a chest tube inserted in order to try and re-inflate her lung, along with tons of IVs, etc. If they can’t save her lung she may need a transplant.  Only 60% of CF patients who receive lung transplants live 3 years or longer after the surgery, so her life expectancy won’t be very long. I haven’t stopped praying since I found out. Last summer we got approval from her doctor and took her to Florida with us for 5 days, and it was the first vacation she’s ever had. Her and I got really close when we were there, I wanted to make sure she had the greatest time of her life because she’s been through so much.  She’s so happy despite everything going on in her life. She inspires me to never be anything but happy. I love her to death, and it would really mean a lot to me if anyone who sees this can pray for her.
