History

Thursday, August 27, 2009 1:14 PM CDT

Most of you know that Wesley (our nephew) has been living with us for a while now. He has been turned down by three major hospitals for a double lung transplant - UAB/B'ham, Emory/Atlanta, and Shands/Gainesville, FL. They feel that he is too high risk to perform the surgery because of all his other medical problems. We are now waiting to hear from the Cleveland Clinic. This week, Hospice has become a welcomed addition to Wes' needs and ours also. At first, he was very skeptical but has realized swiftly that they will become very dear friends. So far, they have been wonderful in every way and it's only Wednesday !!

So, what I'm asking from all of you is prayer. That's it. Just keep Wes in your prayers. He is very devoted and faithful and believes that God can heal him. He will be 21 yrs old on October 17th - he has been sick since he was 11 starting with Hodgkins, then Leukemia, then a bone marrow transplant which causes GVH disease (graft vs. host). The radiation and steroids caused the pulmonary fibrosis in his lungs.

Keep him in your prayers and also his family; Guy (his Dad), Beverly (his Mom, who is fighting 4th stage colon cancer), his brother Chad, and 13 yr old sister Taylor. You can also add his extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Thanks for being a part of our life.

Well I'm still in auburn at my uncles Friday my dads coming back over here to get me my bro suppose to come home and we should have a good fourth (no softball) thank you Jesus my sisters all star team lost there last game last night so that was kind of a good thing because they would have had to do softball all weekend if they won so now we can swim and just relax I hope. I missed church tonight which is a bummer I really would have liked to go but I didn’t have any oxygen to get me home my oxygen company is idiots. I'm always running out and there always late it's always something with them. Maybe we will change to a better company one day but that’s a lot of head ach because of all the paper work what I'm hoping for is for the company I use to straighten up. Well only 12 more days until I go to Gainesville to hear an answer from them. I also got a call from Cleveland clinic in Ohio they did a phone interview with me and he said he was very impressed with me and that I had a very positive outlook on everything. He also told me he was going to rush everything with getting me back an answer, appointment with them. So PRAISEEEE GODD on that!! Well guess what that’s not all I also received a letter from Pittsburgh telling me they where waiting to hear back from my insurance and that they would let me know something in 2-4 weeks so I'm just hoping and praying everything will work out! I know God does miracles and he is going to do one with this situation I haven't been out the house any because my oxygen but I go outside and stuff every day to give me fresh air, well I'm feeling kind of tired so I'm going to run but I just wanted to let you all know about the hospitals love u all and God bless

Well here I am back to updating this. I really didn’t think I would ever have to look back on this and once my transplant was over and I got well from that my bone marrow transplant that is but I thought everything would be better. But I guess we really don’t understand Gods plan for us do we. I just recently got turned down by another hospital Emery in Atlanta. I will say it was like a stab in the heart once again I really don’t know what to feel. Imp still not going to give up hope because I know God can do miracles and I'm going to get up everyday until I just can’t anymore. I will be honest and say I'm tired of this all of this being sick I'm so ready for it to be over I want this transplant more then I have ever wanted anything in my whole life I would trade my arm if I could just breath the feeling of not being able to breath is so hard to explain but its very scary and I hate absolutely hate I cant help my self I hate the fact that everyone has to do everything for me I mean I have to ask for a drink because I don’t want to get off the couch walk in there because I know its going to take me ten minutes to catch my breath just because I walked that little ways its also sucks that I really cant go out in public because I have to worry with my oxygen either running out or having it I have learned from this and its that people don’t realize how good they really have it until your in a situation like this I would give anything just to wake up one day an not have to take meds and wait for them to work just so I can get out of the bed I would love to just wake up an be able to walk in the kitchen if you are someone that complains because you cant get a shirt or a make over ect. Lets just say the little stuff then learn from me live each day like it was your last you never know when your going to loose everything or never wake up again a lot of people look at me probably and say (oh he’s going to die) NEWS FLASH people we all are going to die someday some 5 year some 30 its not the point of how old you are but we will all die one day its scary to think but Ive noticed from being this way that a lot of people think there going to live forever and never ever slow down just to listen to the wind blow or enjoy thank God there up and alive and breathing and healthy those of you who don’t know Jesus and think he’s not real I couldn’t even think of how I would have made it the past few months or even now without him I would of gave up along time ago and that’s why I'm still having faith that by his strips I will be healed for the ones that had doubt about me getting better there not going to know what to say except there is a God and he does do miracles. Well I'm sorry if this blog was a little bitter or blunt but I needed to type it. I see another transplant team on July 13Th and think there going to be the ones to take me in just believe with me that God will heal me and ill live many many more years and bring lots of people to Christ when I become that minister I want to be

Thanks and God bless

Saturday, June 27, 2009 2:00 PM CDT

Well the past couple of days have been ok Ive just kind of been numb a little I would say but I'm hanging in there im still just having faith one of these hospitals will take me in Ive been staying with my uncles the past week its good to get away from the same ol same ol everyday I just hope I'm not getting on there nerves because it seems I always burden someone with my health or at least I feel like I do because I need help with so much. I'm glad I have a family like I do because I really don’t know what I would have done with out all the support and as far as friends Ive only had a few REALLY and TRULY stick by my side and they know who they are I don’t know its seems like people get scared when they see someone as sick as me its kind of pathetic but one day when there in a bad situation I guess they will look back and regret disowning me who knows. Like I said before sorry if I sound bitter in any of these blogs maybe I am right now but it will pass as time goes by. I do want to live each day to the fullest no matter what happens with this problem. But I'm still not giving up I think and have faith there’s a Dr somewhere out there that’s willing to take my case. Tomorrow Sunday and I'm probably going to miss church because its just so hard to even go anywhere I hate that because I love going to church so bad pray that ill feel good an be able to get up and move easy. I hope I can get out of the house soon cause its been to long since I've gone anywhere because I really haven’t felt up to it then we had trouble with my to go oxygen my uncles is in auburn and my little tank ran out and he went all the way to Montgomery to get a new (full) tank well the next day we realize its not (full) so it was a big deal and they had to bring me more then it didn’t work again so we had to get a new tank yea you get the point so Ive kind of been stuck but stuck at a good place I love it hear I love spending time with my aunt and uncle and all my cousins and my new 3 week old 2Nd cousin so its good for me especially right now in this hard time of what I just had to take in well that’s all for now ill write more later I think my uncles about to go somewhere and I'm going with him!!!

Thanks and God bless

wow its been so long since i have let anybody know anything! im sooo soo soo sorry i promise this will change im gonna keep this page up to par anyways where to i begin, ok shortly after transplant i got diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis which is scare tissue in your lungs caused by all the treatments i had to overcome, basically i breath 29-40ust depending on how sick i am at the time an a normal person should breath 80-100 but its just another turn on this roller coster ive been on for 7 years now and eventually it will str8en it self out! im planning on being a nurse hopfully getting into college in the fall i take a act (for the first time) on april 12th so wish me luck!! i ended up just getting my ged to finish school cause when your sick an trying to do school its just hard i homeschooled for as long as i could but was jus finally fed up with it. lifes going all right im currently in the hospital sick with my lungs but getting better monday will be two weeks since ive been admited i feel like its transplant all over again, but like i said i jus have to keep my head up high and turn to God when i get down. I jus resently found out my mom has 4th stage colan cancer and is under going chemo, i always wondered why it was so hard to watch me go through it but i know exactly why seeing someone you love and care about so sick from these evil drugs if very very heart breaken i try an hide my feelings as much as i can because i dont want to get her down an ive jus always been that type of person to not show anyone how im feeling. i had a bronce yesterday and thats where they run a scope down in your lungs and look around and take cultures everything looked no different from the last time they did it but they did tell me once i get better i have to have a biopsy an thats where they actually take a small peice of my lung an run test on it they just want to make sure there seeing everything they can which is fine with me but the biopsy has lots of risk which scares me to death but i know God will be with me everystep of the way because i havnt made it this far to let go now but this is just gonna be a short update for now im extremly hungry an im about to run down to the prison food an get something to eat ill update again later so keep in touch:)

Pulmonary fibrosis develops when the alveoli, tiny air sacs that transfer oxygen to the blood, become damaged and inflamed. The body tries to heal the damage with scars, but these scars collapse the alveoli and make the lungs less elastic. If the cycle of inflammation and scarring continues, the lungs become increasingly unable to deliver oxygen to the blood. Changes in the lungs can also increase the blood pressure in the pulmonary artery. This condition, called pulmonary hypertension, makes the heart work harder and it may fail.
Pulmonary fibrosis can result from many different lung diseases including sarcoidosis, drug reactions, autoimmune diseases, environmental allergies such as Farmer's lung, and exposure to toxic dusts and gases. Pulmonary fibrosis that develops without a known cause is called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This disease is equally common in men and women. It is usually diagnosed between the ages of 40 and 60.
Causes and Symptoms:
The causes and risk factors vary with the underlying disease. They may include genetics, environmental factors, and infections.
The first symptom of pulmonary fibrosis is usually shortness of breath-at first, during exercise, but later also while resting. Patients may also have a dry cough, a rapid heartbeat, or enlargement of the fingertips and ends of the toes. Some people feel tired or have a fever, weight loss, muscle or joint pains. In late stages of the disease, the lack of oxygen in the blood can give the skin and mucus membranes a blue tinge known as cyanosis.
Diagnosis:
Patients who are suspected of having Pulmonary fibrosis are often referred to a lung specialist. Several tests are usually needed to diagnose this disease and determine its cause. They include a physical examination, detailed history of the symptoms, chest x rays, lung function tests, and blood tests, including a measurement of the amount of oxygen in the blood. Computed tomography (CT scan) may give a more detailed picture of the lungs. Bronchoscopy may be done to examine the air passages and analyze the cells found deep in the lungs.
Lung biopsies are necessary to diagnose some diseases. Lung biopsies can be done through a needle inserted into the chest through the skin, during bronchoscopy, or as a surgical procedure under general anesthesia.
Treatment:
The treatment of pulmonary fibrosis depends on the underlying cause. Many diseases are treated by suppressing inflammation with corticosteroids. Stronger immune suppressants such as cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) or azathioprine (Imuran) may also be tried. Some patients need supplemental oxygen. A lung transplant may be an option for incurable diseases. Approximately 60-80f patients live for at least two years after the transplant.
There is no good treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Only 10-20f patients with this disease respond to corticosteroids.
Therapies & Treatment:
Anxiety and fear can make breathing difficulties worse. Some people find that activities such as yoga, prayer or meditation, music therapy, or biofeedback help to relax them.
Prognosis:
The prognosis depends on the specific disease. Some cases may stop progressing or improve, particularly if the cause can be identified and treated. Others may develop quickly or slowly into end-stage lung disease. The course of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is very difficult to predict; however, average survival is approximately five to seven years.

Day 365 yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa im sooo happy I cant believe that its already been a year time sure does fly when your having fun haha thats funny.I got my levels back today to tell me if I could get taken off steroids.They said they were low but in the normal rang just the low normal rang so I can stop them but if I was to get sick or break a bone or somthing I whould have to recieve low does of steroids because my body could not make enough for me to help me get through my sickness I dont know what it does but thats what they said.Ive added music to my page gaw that was hard to do it took three hours to figure it out to add the music and the hyper links im trying to add other things like a banner and this thing that spins around the mouse but they are not working but make sure you cut your volume up so you can here it.I think thats all I have to update.I dont go to clinc for three weeks if I havnt said anything about that its like a vacation lol cause ive been going so much for the past year maybe it was a aniversery present.But thanks for checking on me and sign my guest book to let me know you read the update I love reading them Gob Bless You All luv ya Wes

I went to clinic yesterday I had a great check up we were there all day I had to see my lung Dr to I thought we whould never get out of there but all my counts were great my liver functions were normal that was great news cause there always up from somthing it seems like.They but me on 5 ml of steroids everday and next week there gonna take me down to 5 ever other day and put me on Flovent which is a inhaler.After they but me on the inhaler I will go a week on the inhaler and the steriods and then they will take me off the steroids but stay on the inhaler.Which is great news im am so happy.After they take me off the steroids they will check my immune system again in November the very being of it and if its good which Dr Sande is almost certain it will be because I whould not be on anything to mess with my immune system I will be able to start school I cant wait I miss school so much I hate sitting at home all the time its so boring.I dont go back to clinc for two weeks which is even more good news so I get a break from them again but thanks for checking up on me check out the new picture I but in here its my most resent one God Bless U All
