Journal entry by Tammy Vasquez

My heart is failing, I am in end stage heart failure. I am dependent on an iv med called dopamine. Until they can wean my body off of it I will be in ICU. If they can, I will get to move to a regular room to hopefully stabilize my blood pressure. I’ve had issues with the catheter , which has been removed. a picc line has been placed & will stay in place for quite some time. Short term goal is to get out of icu & stabilize blood pressure & hopefully get me out of the hospital. I will be getting a fancy heart pump (LVAD) with a heart transplant soon after -the drs believe because of my blood type & im still reasonably young that I will get one soon. Please keep commenting to here on Facebook or messenger & I will reply when I can. It takes a lot of out me to constantly answer the phone. I have a few family contacts & have called some friends but it’s been mentally & emotionally draining. I’m doing ok-my daughter is here & holding things together. Jamie Johnson & my wonderful adopted parents are taking care of things at home. Please know I’m not giving up I’m taking a break to get well.
