Lori Jernigan said… - I Stacey and Rachel! I am so excited to hear how far out Rachel is. I got transplanted at Duke and my husband was stationed up here almost three years ago so we switched to B&W. Where did Rachel get her tx? Was it at The childrens Hospital in Boston?? Over a year ago I wasa diagnosed with Chronic Rejection but it seems to have stabilized. Like you said a lot of bumps in the road but it has been so worth it for me! Have a great weekend and KIT:)

Katey Ballard said… - Hi...thanks for your comment! How is your daughter? WOW...6 months old...that's amazing! I'm doing ok. TONS better than pre-transplant, considering I was literally on my death bed. I am currently in chronic rejection (since August of 2006). I've undergone treatment for it and it is stable right now. I had one episode of acute rejection last Spring. Unfortunately, I get pneumonia multiple times a year, which puts me in the hospital. I've been in the hospital twice this year, once for severe pneumonia, and another for severe bronchitis. But I still continue on with my life, and daily activities. I graduate from college this Saturday. I've worked 24-32 hours a week the past 3 years in addition to being a full time student. So despite struggles, I still am able to pursue my goals. I just have to handle those struggles/complications when they come. I'm watched very closely by my transplant team and are on more than the usual transplant medications. Currently, for the last 2 weeks, I've felt the best I've felt in about 2 years! I did have a fundoplication in 1996. I had a feeding tube put in, and they did the fundo at that time. I had the feeding tube taken out about 3.5 years later, but my fundo is still intact.

- Hi there Stacey & Rachel, thanks for the add & the comment. I have not been diagnosed with chronic rejection. My transplant team said it was mild and on the right lung at the time. They said they caught it in time and that the 10 days of the prednisone boost they gave me was enough to get rid of it. I had the same question. Since I had rejection did that mean I always had rejection, they said no. I dont have any complications from my fundo. The mickey button/tube feed was taken out about a year after my double lung transplant. Since the night feeds were no longer needed for me to gain weight. Yes, that is a picture of my tattoo. It is on my ankle and says 65 Roses, for the Cystic Fibrosis story. I have 4 tattoos that I have gotten since my transplant. Ive also gotten my labrae pierced. Which is under the lip. My transplant team was okay with me getting this stuff done as long as it was in a sterile invironment. I also had to take an antibiotic 1 hour prior to having any of if done. Again, I wanted to say thanks for the add. I am also looking forward to my 10 year anniversary. Only 26 more days to go!
Take Care, I hope to hear back from you soon
