Jenn and I are moving home to Bellingham next week. Very excited to feel settled again. Spokane has been okay, Sacred Heart has been great. I'll be transfering to the UW's heart transplant program.

LVAD in Spokane

This is an x-ray of my LVAD. What a story goes with this bad boy.

About two years ago, I started to get way too sick with my heart failure. I was hospitalized in Mt. Vernon for a week while I had a drip of inotropes to keep my heart pumping. Before, this helped me recover enough to leave the hospital and feel better for quite some time but this time I did'nt respond as well. We decided it was time for the next huge step in the heart failure saga, an LVAD and transplant. Also we decided to do this major surgery in Spokane, WA.
