It\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve updated my COTA page\u2014I\u2019ve been focused on healing from my second double-lung transplant and making frequent round trips to NYU Langone Health for ongoing treatment with multiple specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

June 19 marks 10 months post-transplant. I\u2019ve been working hard with my physical therapist to regain strength and independence, and I\u2019m determined to say goodbye to my wheelchair and rollator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living with Cystic Fibrosis means ongoing health challenges. In March, I underwent sinus surgery to prevent infections from reaching my new lungs. Then, just two weeks ago, I was rushed to the ER with severe stomach pain. Unable to make it to NYU in time, I was admitted to a local ICU where I was diagnosed with Pancreatitis and a potential stomach perforation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, I avoided surgery and began to recover with treatment. After five difficult days in the ICU, I was finally cleared to go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This journey hasn\u2019t been easy, but I\u2019m still here, fighting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With gratitude,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
