This disease is irreversible and the only way for this to be fixed is for her to move to Toronto and be put on a waiting list for a double lung transplant.
Even though she faces such a serious situation, she is still her fun loving self. She's honestly such a true inspiration to my life, I have never met anyone as full of life as much her.
If you want to know more about her and her story please visit this website that has been made for her to document her journey through this experience.
A Lung Story
For these pictures, I got to remove her oxygen tube. I wanted the pictures to be focused on her and not the oxygen. It amazes me that you can't even tell that anything is wrong with her when she is not wearing it.
"Keeping Things Simple Still Brings A Dimple"
- Hélène Campbell
Helene is the best ever... What sucks on top of this all is that every time I see that "diagnosis", it just reminds me that they don't even know what caused this. "idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis" doesn't even really mean anything other than the fact that she has lung scarring (fibrosis) and that they have not been able to find the cause (idiopathic)... I know she will be okay though. Best person. And like she said, makes you realize how important organ donation is.
