Hello! My name is Annette Markin. I'm a 54 year old woman fighting a rare lung disease called, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. I was diagnosed on June 29, 2004 (my husband's birthday). On July 15th I began a treatment called, Flolan. It is administered continuously through a central line that has been surgically implanted in my chest by a portable, battery operated pump. I'm also on oxygen 24/7. As you can imagine, the disease and the medicine are a bit of a challenge. The love and support of my wonderful husband Rod (married 31 years and counting) and our two sons, Nick (28 and married to a beautiful woman named Kara and proud owner of a fat cat named Ivan) and Chris (26 a professional photographer with a goofy dog named Deoje)and other loving family members and friends make this fight less challenging. My faith in God provides me with hope for a cure for this now incurable disease. Please learn more about Pulmonary Hypertension at: www.phassociation.org
I've been going a little nuts with this weather as many people have. Yesterday, the doorbell rang and I was presented with a dozen beautiful pink roses. The card said, "Feeling cooped up? Love, Rod" How lucky am I?
Wow, that husband of yours sure knows how to brighten up a day. How very sweet! They say it is actually going to feel like a heat wave this week-end. Can't wait! hugs, di
You definitely are a lucky woman. Most women including myself would love to have a hubby like yours. He truly does love you. Now when you get mad at him in a few days remember this day. Okay?? LOL!! I am sure he is still a man just like they all are.

Rod is an absolute angel! He knew just what you needed right now.
I'll be anxious to hear how the volunteering went. I know it will be a great way for you to feel you're contributing to something that you truly love.
Take care!
Love, Donna
