And to be honest, we've got our own little bubble.
We're recovering, but it's very much day at a time
And kind of going from there, really.
Yeah.
And following on from all of the events that happened last year, the wider teams wanted to understand why my sister had a heart and lung transplant.
She tragically died when she was 21, which was 10 years after her transplant.
They've done some genetic testings, which have shown that we both had a genetic mutation and mine was triggered from the pneumonia and
Now looking further, they've seen that my daughter also has this genetic mutation.
But now we know this, we can keep on top of her health.
We know that it's something that she might need to deal with in the future.
For me and my story, there's so many people to thank.
Like I say, my sister, when she was 10 years old, she had a heart and lung transplant.
So the donor that she had, I got 10 amazing years with my sister and then the donor that I had died.
For myself, it changed my life.
I wouldn't be a mum without the donor.
But also just to say that throughout our process, we also, both myself and Jessica, we required lots of blood transfusions.
We also used milk donors as well.
So, yeah, just, you know, anybody that donates blood, anyone that donates breast milk, all of these things, they do really, really help in recovery as well.
we both wouldn't be here without all of them.
Yeah, I'm really quite fortunate that I get to celebrate my daughter's birthday on the 2nd of July and then on the 16th of July we celebrate my transplant day.
