James ’s Story

Site created on May 22, 2022

My name is Robyn and I would like to invite you to join James Dobbs Caring Bridge Page.  I created this page to keep our family, friends, co-workers and loved ones up to date with the latest information as James heart journey has moved into a new phase.  Most importantly, this page will give James a place to read your messages and see all the love and support that he has around him as we move into this next chapter.  Below you can read how this journey began and where we are at today.  I apologize to those of you who are learning about the recent changes here; the last couple weeks have been very busy.   Thank you for your continued support, especially in the days ahead.  Love, Robyn, James & family XO

Journal entry by Robyn Lee-Dobbs

Hello all, 
Thank you so much for all the love, well wishes & support. I just got home & James is in the ICU at the U of MN hospital. 

James, aka The Energizer Bunny, is doing great. I know ICU sounds scary, but they want to monitor him closely & continue to run tests while he has the “swan” in his neck for the next day or two. 

So many variables go into this & it’s truly a numbers game. He is testing just above moving to Status 2, which will put him at the top of the list.  

We are literally days away from “The Heart in a Box” fully rolling out which will increase his donor pool substantially.

He will likely come home in the next couple days & go back in to rerun this same test in a couple weeks when Heart in a Box is ready to go! We are so close!
