Alan Needs Your Help

My name is Alan Lammle and for those of you who do not know my story, I had the unlikely, one in a billion chance, of having a glob of triglycerides go on a traveling expedition and block a duct to my pancreas causing a bout of severe pancreatitis. I was hospitalized for a month in a medically-induced coma. Since then I have had many pancreatic attacks, resulting in Type 1 Brittle Diabetes. I have only 3% of my pancreas left and do not have the pancreatic ability to create and regulate insulin or to produce digestive enzymes. I have suffered changes to my vision, neuropathy issues, and have issues with hypoglycemic unawareness. I have been told that I need a pancreas transplant. Due to my condition, this transplant will be more involved than normal and I will have more out-of-pocket expenses than usual.

Alan and I will be traveling to Wisconsin from Colorado for Alan's annual appointment with his transplant surgeon, Dr. Dixon Kaufman. Alan's transplant had been wonderful but due to contracting COVID19 in January of 2022, the transplant failed and Alan is back to suffering with Type 1 Brittle Bronze Diabetes. We are hopeful that Dr. Kaufman may place Alan back on the transplant waiting list and remove his transplanted pancreas from 2016 and provide Alan with a new pancreas.

Alan has his next follow-up appointment with his transplant surgeon at University of Wisconsin Medical Center on September 21, 2018. He has gone through rough times with CMV, opportunist infections, and medication issues. We hope to hear good news and are hoping for medication adjustments to reduce side effects and shakiness.
