Jennifer (Mowl) Pettyjohn is my daughter and is a single mom of a very bright and beautiful five year old daughter, Ella Rae. Jennifer was diagnosed at 13 years of age with a deteriorating kidney disease, which was due to an undiagnosed case of strep infection. She was told by the age of 25 she would need a kidney transplant. We’ve made it six years past that prediction. Jennifer has been on dialysis three days a week for two years. Her only chance of living a full complete life is with a kidney transplant.
Jennifer is focused on the future. With the support of her family, and her wonderful Eric, she continues to work full time and care for Ella as her health allows. She wants what everyone wants, a home, a career, a family, the ability to live completely without having to rely on dialysis to survive.

Update
As of today Friday Feb 22, everything is going amazingly well. Jared has been at home since Wednesday. Other then a little pain he is healing up great. Jen finished up her last super dose of anti-rejection medicine yesterday afternoon then was released immediately following. She will go back to get her labs drawn for a couple days. Everything is functioning wonderfully. Thank you for all the kind words, thoughts and support.
