Dennis’s Story

Site created on February 13, 2024

Dennis has been diagnosed with idiopathic interstitial lung disease, a debilitating and progressive lung condition that has left him in desperate need of a double lung transplant.

Denny has touched so many lives with his warmth and generosity, and now it’s our turn as a community to rally around him.

We are using this site to keep family and friends updated in one place.

We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. ❤️

Journal entry by Nicole Ehlers

Today is the day we have all been waiting for…. DAD IS DISCHARGED FROM REHAB!!! 🙌🏼 We were able to get him out of the rehab center around 11:30 this morning. We will be staying at the Transplant House of Cleveland (within blocks of the clinic) for a while until he receives clearance to go back home. He has several appointments on Monday with the last being with his pulmonologist/transplant team. Until then, we will have assistance from home health and PT visits. We are so very thankful to have him out of the hospital and on his way to coming home. ❤️
