Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Question? What is an "air family"? I've seen that term used frequently, but never was sure what it meant. Thanks Subject: IMPORTANTTo: Breathe-Support Date: Monday, June 22, 2009, 3:27 PM Hi all,Kristi reminded me how important it is for us as patients to be sure that someone knows how to get in touch with our "air family" in the event something happens. I know it's not something we like to think about, but I know that there are members or past members that we have no idea what happened to them and like a lost relative you are always wondering if they are ok. So, please be sure to let your loved one know how to get on the site to update us in case anything happens.Thank you for your consideration in this matter.Leanne Storchuip diagnosed January, 2003 Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Adrienne, A few years ago we all met in Chattanooga and I think that is when I dubbed us Air Family becausewe are so much like a family. I do indeed love this board and all the members here. Love and Prayers, Peggy IPF 2004, FloridaWorry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up. Question? What is an "air family"?
