Maxine Clement Please donate in the name of Maxine Clement, so that a cure and/or treatments to prolong life for sufferers of this terrible disease can be found. I want to tell my mom’s story so that maybe one day someone else won’t lose their mother to this horrific disease. At 45, I never imagined I’d have to deal with my mother getting sick, let alone dying because of pulmonary fibrosis. Sadly, that’s my reality, but I hope that by sharing my family’s journey with pulmonary fibrosis, I can bring awareness and hope to others. My mother and father met when they were 16 years old in school, then married after school when they were 22 years old; brought me and my brother into this world 5 years later. Growing up my mother was never sick or had any diseases, or if she was, she never complained. It was in 2017, when she fell ill with pneumonia after a trip down to Myrtle Beach to see me that our lives would change forever. She had difficulty breathing and was wheezing alot, and at my persistence she agreed to go the doctor when she returned home. It was a chest x-ray that raised alarm. Her doctor informed her that there was something wrong with her lungs, and they didn’t know what it was. They suspected pneumonia and then COPD. After a few months, she finally got an appointment with a lung specialist. My parents then received the news: my mom had pulmonary fibrosis. Although the specialist said it looked like she had it for years, they couldn’t pinpoint when or how my mom contracted this disease. My mom was told she would have 2 years to live in April 2017. My mom was offered a lung transplant but was told it may not work. My mom declined the transplant saying she felt she was too old to go through that. She was prescribed medications and puffers, but they appeared to make her worse, and caused her to cough (which she never really did before, she just wheezed). She tried experimental drugs which caused her to sit on the toilet 24 hours a day. She was put on oxygen therapy which dried her nose out and made her cough as well. We were basically told there was nothing that could be done, that she would die from this horrible disease. Once she got used to having the oxygen on, her and my dad would come down to Myrtle Beach and she would sit on the beach all day. She loved this, as the beach was her life. Her and I would go shopping and although she was a bit slower and had oxygen tubes, she got around just fine. She would push a cart holding her oxygen tank and we would shop. Her and my dad came down to the beach to visit me in April 2019, which was her 2 year mark, but she still felt pretty good and we celebrated that she made it past 2 years and that doctors really didn’t know that much about this disease yet to make a 2 year diagnosis like that. In July 2019, I got the call that my mom had taken a turn for the worse. I rushed to be with my family, quitting my original job to do so. The doctors then told us she had 2 months left to live. You never know when you’re going to go. My mother didn’t expect it either, at the age of 72 she was focused on retirement and living the beach dream, and hadn’t planned for it. You never dream it will happen to you. My mother didn’t want to leave my dad and us kids. She was worried about my dad being alone and I assured her I would take care of him for her. She made it to December 2, 2019 but not without severe struggles. I watched her suffer in pain and there was nothing anyone could do for her. She was put on morphine but then she became constipated so much so that her stomach hurt her more than her lungs did. Then one day she told my dad she could not get out of bed, she was too weak. She was moved to a hospice, where she lost mobility, the ability to talk. She grunted and groaned a lot. They just kept pumping drugs into her until that Sunday night around midnight; she started breathing real heavy and sporadically. Then it slowed down and she tilted her head back a few times to try and get a breath until she took her final one. Because she didn’t have many visible symptoms, and rarely complained, it was hard for people to wrap their head around the severity of her situation, including my dad and me at times. It was very challenging on my dad and me and my brother. My dad was her sole caregiver, and she didn’t want anyone, even family, to see her in her state. I tried to relieve my dad by coming home frequently, once a month after the July diagnosis. Often, my coworkers assumed I was taking vacation. They had little idea of what I was going through. My advice to others is to open up – both within your family, but also with your work colleagues – and lean on others. As much as I wanted to keep my personal life to myself, people noticed I was going through something, and may have been more understanding had they known my struggles. So much is known about things like cancer and heart disease, but there is so little on pulmonary fibrosis. These patients are suffering in silence. My main goal is to increase awareness and to honor my mother, and to raise funds to advance research and increase awareness. Thank you! All proceeds go towards: • Finding effective treatments and a cure for pulmonary fibrosis• Advocating for the pulmonary fibrosis community • Promoting disease awareness • Providing a compassionate environment for patients and their families Please donate and together we can help those living with pulmonary fibrosis and the families of those we have lost.

Maxine Crawley

Maxine Crawley Please donate in the name of Maxine Crawley, so that a cure and/or treatments to prolong life for sufferers of this terrible disease can be found. My grandmother was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis in October of 2014 and lost her battle with this horrible disease on May 25th, 2019. We never understood why someone so kind-hearted and selfless was dealt such a rough hand, but you would've never known what she was up against. My grandmother was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and aunt to a big, loving family. She enjoyed playing bunco, attending church, and watching her grandkids play everything from baseball to basketball. She was also a die hard University of Kentucky fan. I still don't understand why she was called home so soon, but we continue to keep her memory alive and I know she would want nothing more than to help those who are battling this same disease.
