Dear Family, Friends and Community,

I would like to open by saying thank you all for the generous donations previously made on my behalf. Through your assistance, we have raised 12k. This can be verified on my web page. The funds are secured with the non-profit and will be used for medically related expenses only.

At this time, I am not requesting additional donations, rather, just seeking to provide an update of my current medical status. As a United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) listed patient, I began treating at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY as it was closer to my hometown of Buffalo, NY.

My condition worsened last year and I was forced to undergo emergency surgery. I had LVAD (Left Ventricle Assist Device with BTT) Implantation which is a pump created to help my overall heart function. The BTT stands for Bridge To Transplant. As you may recall, I already have a defibrillator and pacemaker. These devices have all been implanted to sustain my life. Times are difficult right now but I remain hopeful.

As stated earlier, I wanted to provide an update on my health status and let each of you know that I am fully committed to completing this mission.

In the future, I will update you more regularly. Staying alive is a very tough job; however, I am thankful for the tremendous support from all of you and my health care professionals who have worked diligently to assist me.

Moving forward, my medical team is in the process of preparing me for future surgery and eliminating any other medical problems that exist or may arise. I truly appreciate your assistance through this very challenging process. Please know that I am doing my absolute best to be ready for “the call”. I have been 100% compliant with my doctor’s orders.

I suppose that I’ll always need some measure of medical treatment; however, it is my hope and belief that transplant will resolve a large portion of my issues.

Thank you so much. My family and I are truly grateful to have each of you as a part of this process.

Please contact myself or the parties listed below with any questions, comments or concerns.

Thanks,
Warren
