Hello everyone this is Josh's wife Amanda running this page on behalf of Josh. Please create a account and sign in to get updates! Im making this page to have a general place to post updates along with wish lists and needs that we have. Some back story and where we are now. Josh received his first heart transplant back when he was just 17. That heart gave him 22 years. Unfortunately with a transplanted heart that comes with a array of medications for anti rejection. And those medications are very hard on the body. That means his kidneys have been working over time for many years. He was in kidney failure for a bit but that got jump started back in February of 2024. That's when he went to the hospital with Pneumonia. That also turned into sepsis. That's when his kidney function drop to almost nothing. Since then he has been doing at home dialysis. Knowing he needed a kidney and also finding out he will need a new heart that can support that kidney. So for the last year pluse he was getting worked up for a double transplant at the UofM hospital in Ann Arbor. Fast forward to this fall his dialysis was not working efficiently. He was working closely with his team of doctors trying different things to try and remove the fluid. Unfortunately all those things just didn't work. Fast forward again to November 17th that's when his team said okay this is enough. Get out to Ann Arbor ASAP. After spending a little over a day there the team of doctors said he was too ill to come home without transplants. He was missing just a few of the final things needed to complete his transplant work up. To see if he will be approved and can officially be placed on the list. As of today we are still in that limbo of the unknown.
