Another Vibe Request
Apr 27th, 2009 at 3:41pm
 
Ohh, so much going on, and so many people in straights!
I try not to ask, coz things are usually trivial in my life, but, I have a niece and nephew who were born with Cystic Fibrosis, a disease that attacks your lungs, your digestion and your immunity.  When they were born, the life expectancy was around 34 yrs. Jereme is now 29 and the expectancy has gone up into the mid-40's, I'm told.
Jereme got married last fall, and he's working now, but life is a struggle, as he can get sick so easily. He picked up a virus late last year and, after many different meds protocol, including 24hr IV packs, he cannot shake it. His 02 saturations are waay down. He spent the weekend in the hospital on 3 antibiotics, trying to knock this. If he cannot, he will quickly need a lung transplant......but, due to his foreshortened life expectancy, he is not a good candidate.
There comes a time with CF patients, when a Dr simply cannot do anything-I want them to continue to FIGHT for Jereme.
I'm not prepared to say goodbye to a 30 yr old nephew.
Please remember him in your prayers.......and help  keep his sister, Kaeti well, too!

Thank You,
cathi

You bet, Cathi......vibes, positive thoughts and prayers are headed out.

Now, young lady, don't you ever hesitate to ask for vibes and support.  You've been here for years, helping and supporting so many.  It's the very least we can do....for you, your family members or anyone you know is in need.

Love ya,
Jackie

Prayers for your nephew and niece are on the way.    I'm so sorry to hear that Jereme is having such a hard time.  CF is awful. Embarrassed

Where there is life, there is hope.
Where there is Oxygen, you must use proper caution.
So be safe, don't smoke while using O2. Kill the pain and not yourself.

Hi Cathi,

I totally understand as I have recently lost a close colleague  to cystic fibrosis. Cathi its very important that your family fight the doctors in regards to the appropriateness of Jereme for a lung transplant.... My colleague's brother who also suffers from cystic fibrosis had to fight the same argument with his doctors. If you like I can (pm) you a link to their story because i think it may be very helpful in regards to Jereme's plight.

Sending positive vibes...

Lefty...!
