I do sometimes get a little scared about passing. There are times when I am really short of breathe and cannot seem to get air in my lungs. I have been exercising by breathing thru the nose slowly and then breathing out the mouth. I have a lot of mucus as you do. Usually early morning I experience that. All I can do is Cough it up. There is mucinex that you can take to reduce the mucus. I do use that when it gets really bad. I do get a little scared but when the end comes and I am in hospice my doctor said he would not let me suffer, and I am relying on Jesus to see me thru. Hope you are in a lower stage then i am. I am on oxygen 24/7. But I am still driving and go to the store and shop for groceries. You have to keep pushing forward and not give up. My theory is FIGHT as long as you can. I do believe God will be with you thru to the end. I really feel it will be peaceful. Just keep your faith and I will say a prayer for you to get peace until God takes either of us. God bless and keep you

Thank you so much for your kind words and your prayer for me. I'm not taking oxygen yet even though I have it here at the house should I need it. I know that The Lord will take care of me. He has in every medical situation I've had to go through. I guess every new medical problem is a little scary at first. Once I get a clear picture of what I'm facing I'll feel a lot better on what to expect from this disease, I hope. God has never let me down. I'm not afraid to die. I look forward to going to Heaven and being with my Savior. It's the "how am I going to die" that concerns me and I have to leave that in God's hands. I think God knows my fears and He won't let me suffocate. At least I pray He won't. But I will stay strong in my faith and I pray you will stay strong too and I will add you to my prayer list as well. Than you again so much for reaching out to me. I think it was meant to be. God puts people together in the oddest ways doesn't He? I love it. God bless you.............Shirley
