I have no words. Certainly we did not expect this. The magnitude of this article. Barb, what have you done?! It's incredible! Thank you, from my whole family.

I feel very lucky. I will also write more about this day, at a later time. I'm slightly speechless at the moment.

Sarah linked me to it on FB this morning-it was an incredible article. I've been following your blog for how long, and there were still bits that I did not know in the article.
Your brother brought me to tears.
What an amazing story. My dearest friend had CF and she led an remarkable and inspiring life- as you are doing too!
My friend gave me the greatest gift which is a love and appreciation for life. A precious gift that you too are sharing with everyone around you.
I wish you great success with the transplant. I hope that it comes soon and that you will home with your family by Christmas.
It sounds like you are surrounded by love and with the article in the Star, you will now have the love of a whole city to support you.
I read this article in The Star this morning while waiting for my psych lecture to start, and was nearly overcome.
I immediatly cheaked this blog out on my phone. :)
Your baby is absolutly beautiful and your amazingly courageous to be doing this.
Wishing you all the best,
-A stranger who's thinking of you. :3
I was thrilled to read your article in our local paper this am. I have been following your blog for a while and admire your strength and love for your daughter. I think you teach us all so much about ourselves, and of life in general. I've been praying for you, and silently cheering you on each day. May God bless you and your wonderful family. Hoping your new lungs come soon, and you can be home snuggling with your daughter.
Nat - look at the awareness that you are bringing to CF and Organ Donation. You my dear are changing lives. I can't comment on the article cause everytime I think about it, my tears come and I am overcome for you. Hang in my dear, you are at the top of the list.

I read the amazing article about you and your beautiful baby in the Star today and I had to check out your blog. Your baby is extremly lucky to have such a brave mother. Your blog is very inspiring~

Reading your article in the Toronto Star today immediately brought to mind a dear friend of mine, Kevin denBok, who passed away from CF at the age of 21 in 1986. Kevin devoted much of his life to raising awareness and money to fund a cure for CF. I googled his name and was thrilled to find the following article on him and his music: http://www.itcamefromcanada.com/post/2008/11/21/Kevin-Denbok.aspx#comment
He was an amazing and inspiring person, and lead a remarkable life in his short years. I wish you the best of success in your fight. I also have B+ blood type, and I have signed my organ donation card (and made my wishes clear to my family), I will kept you in my thoughts and hope that pair of lungs comes soon!
A great and powerful article that made me cry.
Like Sarah said - you are changing lives, and for the better.
Hang in there.
After reading on line I picked up the TS. Your story will inspire so many people, will change so many hearts, will do so much good! Once you are back home with new lungs, once you have enough kisses of Scarlett (ever???) you should write a book.....yes Nat, to inspire and encourage and give hope to those weacker onces, those who don't have enough strength for fight...the best role model for Scarlett...her mommy
Thank you for your blog. While it may be a legacy for your child, it is also a profound gift to all of us.

Natalia,
I type this through my tears....I started reading your article and it touches me so, I was sitting here reading it to my hubby and could barely get the last words out, then I scrolled back up and the video had loaded of you guys with Scarlett, and she had the beanie I made for her on, I just lost it. I want you to know you are making a difference to us with CF and to the world, educating people and touching their hearts. It means the world to me to see my beanie on Scarlett....I will be praying you get those lungs soon.
hugs
Rebecca
It was an excellent article ... that's how I found you :)
Thank you for sharing your amazing story with us. I sincerely hope that you will be able to watch your daughter grow up and tell her about your journey! Best wishes.
I read this article in my local paper, the Hamilton Spectator, this morning. I then spent the better part of today and evening reading your entire blogs. You are an inspiration, an amazing courageous woman. I will pray for you and your lovely family. Please continue to stay strong.
awesome!!
The article was absolutely beautiful, Natalia. I'm praying for you always.
