- My transplant was performed on September 24, 2010 by the amazing team at University Medical Center in Tucson, AZ. The doctors who performed the surgery were Dr. Michael Moulton and Dr. Steven Knoper. They were amazing and so attentive and knowledgable including answering my more than overwhelming barrage of anxiety-ridden questions. Through they're amazing care, i was able to leave the hospital after only a few weeks.

- Prograf,CellCept,Valcyte,Prednisone,Pepcid,VitaminD,VitaminC,Fluconazole
- What Do You Do For a Living? What Are Your Passions, Hobbies, Passtimes, Dreams and Goals for the Future?
- PreTX I was a network analyst for a utilities company. I also owned a business doing IT work for companies. Fortunately it was one of my hobbies also, so I really loved my work. My passions now include my twin daughters and spending as much time with them now that i can actually run and play alongside them, something we could never do before. I also enjoy shooting guns, though not hunting. I love camping with the family, playing poker, and also love to build and tinker with RC planes, trucks, boats, etc.
- About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about you and your unique experience with transplantation:
- I was diagnosed @ 6 months with Cystic Fibrosis. I lived a fairly normal life up through high school. I played sports like track and wrestling, and really was not held back much. My first hospital stay was not until I was right around 14 years old. Once I started working my days became longer and treatments were missed more and more often. By about age 21 I was going to the hospital around once a year. These last 6 years were the worst, culminating in my last year I would have to use a wheelchair on and off. I got down to 90 pounds and approx 14% lung function when i went in for my TX. Except for a few hiccups such as a pneumo during one of my bronchs, I have been doing great in my recovery and I am approaching my 6th month post TX. Every day has been a blessing! Especially considering they didn't think I would make it to 18 and celebrated my 34th birthday this year! I am so proud to have so many great examples of fighters out there like you guys to look up to!
