Journey to my New Heart…

My journey began in 1998 when I found out I had an enlarged heart. Around 2009 I found out I had congestive heart failure and have been battling it since then. Around April 2021 they had to bring me back to life. They put an LVAD (a pump for end-stage heart failure) in me to keep me alive while I wait for a heart transplant. If it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t be here now. I felt defeated. What kind of life was I going to have? I had to learn my new routine in life. I live on batteries during the day and plug into the wall at night.

Pattys journey to a heart has taken many bumps and curves. On July 22 Patty after a 16 hours surgery got a gift of a heart. She was left in a coma, on Aug 3 the family was excited when she open her eyes. On Aug 5 Patty was able to follow nurses commands she stuck her tongue out and wiggle her toes. She is fighting to get better but her body suffered shock from the surgery. She is on a ventilator, had a tracheostomy, liver and kidneys not working but getting better so she has to be on dialysis. She will need help paying her bill and the cost of meds. thank you...Janice Schultz
