65_RedRoses 2009

     Eva Markvoort has Cysitic Fibrosis, she was diagnosed at a very young age and has had a difficult time breathing her entire life.  Her lungs fill up with fluid and she's unable to clear this fluid.  She has decided to have a lung transplant, she has a pager and is waiting for a pair of lungs matching her blood type.  There is a possibility that she could die before the lungs become available.  She has connected online with two other young woman with the same illness, they are unable to meet in person because they can give each other dangerous infections.  One of her online friends had a lung transplant but has chronic rejection of her new lungs.  Her other online friend is more in denial of her illness.  They stay connected and really know the struggles of this disease.
     You are really rooting for Eva and her friends to be able to beat this illness.  It's very hard on her family and close friends.  65_RedRoses is her online name, her favorite color is red and 65 Roses comes from her not being able to say Cystic Fibrosis when she was a young girl.  4* (I really liked this movie)
