Help Hope Live for Rosemary Stoddard
My name is Rosemary and I am 62 years old. I unfortunately was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis on March 31, 2023. I have been married to my kind, loving husband for 39 years. Together we raised a beautiful daughter Jessica who is so incredibly kind hearted and is always there for everyone, especially me through this diagnosis. We also have a sweet pup named Stanley and a cat named Maude. I am originally from Massachusetts and we moved to South Carolina in 2015 due to my husband having CMT which affects his muscles in his arms and legs. The warmer weather in the south has helped him tremendously which has made it possible for him to be there for me- especially since my diagnosis and all of the hurdles that we have had to face since. I love to read, camp, crochet, and watch Hallmark Christmas movies. But above all- my favorite thing to do is to be with my family and friends and I’m so incredibly blessed to have the loving relationship I have with all of them.

Update I went to Duke for my 5 day evaluation February 25th through the 28th. I got the call today to ask me to relocate in the next 3-4 weeks to continue my rehab at the Duke facility. The goal is to lose the last of the weight and be able to complete all the tasks that are required to be able to move to the next step which is hopefully being added to the transplant list. We need to fight hard to reach our goal. Thank you to everyone who has donated and followed our journey. We wouldn’t be this far along without you.

Another update!I have been working hard at rehab, trying to keep my body moving and strengthen my muscles so I’m strong enough for surgery. I am so close to my weight loss goal, and I start my 5 day evaluation with Duke this Monday, 2/24. This will require a lot of testing to make sure all my other organs are working at 100% and healthy enough to undergo the procedure. My family and I are so thankful for everyone’s generous donations. You have no idea how much your support means, and the relief we have knowing the financial burden has lessened. Please keep sending your prayers and positive thoughts, if this evaluation goes well, hopefully we will be relocating very soon to start the next step in my journey to healthy lungs! I will update everyone as soon as I know more. Love, Rosemary
