*Here is Micheal's Story*
As many of you know, I was
diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as an infant, I am now 19 and I recently
graduated from high school. Throughout my life, I have been in and out
of the hospital for lung infections and other things related to my
Cystic Fibrosis and Diabetes. In late August, 2012 I got very sick and
my pulmonary lung function had been in decline ever since.
In November, 2012 I had a week long evaluation at
Duke University Hospital, In January, 2013 my father and I relocated to
Chapel Hill just outside of Durham in North Carolina to be close to the
hospital. Since then it has been daily trips to the hospital for test,
labs, procedures, education classes, the fitness center daily to try to
build up weight and muscle for after the transplant. On March 26, 2013 I
was put on the Transplant list. On April 5, 2013 I got my new lungs.
Will continue to go to the Doctor appointments, clinic visit's, do lab
work, the fitness center, learn about all the new medications I will
take for the rest of my life. I will continue to be close to the
hospital for 3 or 4 months until I can go home.
Even with insurance, transplantation is extremely
expensive. We live 18 hours away from Duke University, so the travel and
relocation back and forth for evaluations, work-ups, and the transplant
will in itself cost tens of thousands of dollars, all of which must be
paid out-of-pocket. Aside from this, we will have to cover the cost of
co-pays, deductibles, doctor visits, and the costly immunosuppressant
medications I will have to take for the rest of my life. All of this
presents a challenge my family and I cannot meet alone.
