My name is Meghann. I became ill with Staph Pneumonia in Feb. of 1993 at 12 years old, leaving both lungs permanently damaged. I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis and put on O2 24-7. I was listed for a double-lung transplant in July of '93. I waited over 3 years before going inactive on the list. I graduated from HS in June of '98 and went on to graduate from college in Dec. '03 with a B.A. in Sociology with Criminology concentration. My lungs eventually worsened and I was relisted for a double lung transplant in July of 08. I received my transplant on June 21, 2009.
