Team Ken – Rounding the Bases Again!
Ken Sims, who’s been battling hereditary Cardiac Amyloidosis for 2 very long years is now ‘Rounding the Bases Again!’ After receiving the Gift of Life: a new heart August 30, 2023, he’s ready to play hardball – against Amyloidosis! This is, and always will be, a lifelong battle. There is no 9th inning! Ken for the rest of his life will battle Amyloidosis… and fight the fight of a transplant recipient. Ken longs to be the man he used to be – tinkering around the house, working, taking day trips, even catching a baseball game when he can. It’s been an extremely difficult journey, for us both. And, need I say, COSTLY. We are fighting with everything in us FOR HIS LIFE.

The first day we've be dreading. We knew this was coming. But still not ready. We spent July 4th in Phila, at Jennerson. Ken had a catheterization scheduled for July 5th. That day, the 5th, we learned his cardiac output had severely declined and his heart wasn't pumping effectively, thus not getting enough oxygen to his lungs. They wanted to admit him, but ultimately gave him a week to get everything taken care of and to be back, prepared for hospitalization until he receives a heart. His status on UNOS hopefully will be upgraded from a 4 to a 2.

Ken and I had a great vacation in June of 2023 in Ocean City MD. Few minor adjustments to be made, but knowing what's coming down the road we are choosing to make as many memories as we can.
