Slight background

Welcome, I am using this blog to keep people updated on the health status of me and the journey for me along the way of transplant.

I was admitted to Barnes on the 23rd of October and was not discharged till the 10th of November!  The time period allowed for the longest hospitalization of my adult CF journey.  During this stay it was realized that double lung transplant was probably the most viable option to getting better.  I ended up spending 36 hours in the ICU and was put on continuous bi-pap machine, now which I only use to sleep with.  I was worked up by the transplant team and decided I wanted to do transplant. 

One week after being discharged and spending some time in Joplin wrapping things up I am back in the hospital (admitted 11/19/10) and trying to get things aligned so that people can keep updated with me.

  1. I'll be praying! Let me know if there's anything we can do. I have a few contacts with the CFF if you need any fundraising done; or other help!

  2. Hey Adam, it's Loretta Rose. I couldn't figure out the URL business, so I did the anonymous. I am sure I'll figure it out eventually ;-) Thank you so much for starting this blog. I will be sure my bro-in-law sees it too! So, are you on the list and you are waiting for a lung? I am glad you decided to try a transplant and I am praying for you! Take care and God bless!

  13. Hi Adam. I knew you had CF, but I didn't know you were looking for a transplant. I hope everything goes well! Happy Thanksgiving! I just saw on your FB status that today might be the day. I'll pray for you.
