Day 4 of #30DaysofPH: Teach Me to Breathe
At 25 years old, Carla Jean was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Being very career-driven and loving her job, the possibility of being physically unable to continue working was heartbreaking.However, after getting on a treatment plan and working closely with her doctors, Carla Jean realized that her diagnosis is not a death sentence.
“It is not a death sentence, but rather an opportunity to take things slowly, to live in the moment, and to go at your own pace.”
