I graduated High School in 1974 and shortly after I worked with the Middletown Board of Education. Then later joined the US Air Force in 1975 and contributed in many meaningful ways as a Dietitian Therapist Specialist I served until 1977. I put my best efforts forth and continued to foster my education and attended the Indiana University of Bloomington Indian where I majored in special education. I returned to Ohio and wanted to give back to my community and took the position as a Youth Leader at the Group Homes For Hamilton County Department of Human Services of Cincinnati Ohio. Which expanded my career as a family service advocate for the Head Start program. I relocated to Colorado and worked as a teacher’s assistant at Bemis Daycare Center. I was happy to give of my time working to foster many people throughout my career at the El Paso County Department of Human Services of Colorado Springs Child Welfare Family to Family Administrative Technician for 21 years and retired in 2018.
I was diagnosed in 1997 with the medical condition; Ventricular Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A condition in which the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick.
“Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy makes it hard for the heart to pump blood. It often goes undiagnosed. This condition cause shortness of breath, chest pain, or abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Treatment for Janice includes surgery, an implantable device, or medications to slow or regulate the heart rate.”
I had my first implant surgery in 2010 for a defibrillator pacemaker. My hopes and joys were filled with “I get to live another day, another month another year”. In 2010 I sadly experienced the first signs of my medical condition increasingly changing for the worse. The defibrillator pacemaker was overworking and my medications were increased for me to remain functional. I was hospitalized regularly and was in constant pain. My cardiologist Dr. Eric Carlson in Colorado Springs identified that my condition dramatically became a life or death situation. I was referred to a specialist at the UC Health vascular Heart Center in Aurora Colorado. This where I met Dr. David S. Raymer MD and his pre-transplant team. The pre-transplant team attended to my fragile health condition throughout the required testing to be a candidate for a heart transplant. I know these are the first steps of hope to no longer be on borrowed time that gives me the will to one day very soon be able to return to a healthy active life. Where I can continue to give back to people in need.
I remain prayerful for many reasons and one is to live without fear of my condition, God will provide a heart transplant just right for me! With a selfless amazing prayer and support team, I am courageously standing in faith. I pray that many will want to give selflessly and will give selflessly as I have given throughout my life. Creating this fundraiser platform to help raise the necessary medical funding to provide stability in moving forward is a blessing. Each of your contributions helps me to hope to live a healthier happier life. Each donation is tax-deductible. Please continue to join me throughout this new heart transplant journey.

Here’s an update on what’s going on presently. I was scheduled to see another doctor today on April 15th and I will be scheduled for another heart procedure within the next week or two weeks. I have a couple more appointments and then my name will be put on the list for the heart transplant then after that it’s just a matter of waiting.
God bless you all and take care!
My current update is to complete the next tests for my position on the transplant list.
