So happy you received your Transplant.. We can’t wait. I’ve been trying to get a question answer. Maybe you can help us. My husband is receiving antibody labs at our home monthly. The transplant team called them a Box lab. Did you receive anything thing like this before transplant.? We we’re just wondering why.. Anyway congratulations again... Don & Sue from Michigan.

My dad just received his LVAD a week ago! Congrats on your transplant! If you have any left, I’m sure we could use! I am his caregiver and his is bridging also! We would definitely pay it forward!

Hi, I was the caregiver for my husband who was given his LVAD in March  of 2018.  This was an opportunity to extend his life, & I am appreciative of the time we had together. Life was not easy & there were many hospitalizations, but through it all Jerry followed all medical instructions to the letter.  We thought we would have more time, however, last October he said he was not feeling right. He told his LVAD team & there were blood tests, an ECHO & an increase was made to the speed of his controller. On October 17, 2020 we were told to go to the ER because his controller alarm could not be stopped. His Low Flow had gone down dramatically & the alarm sounded like a smoke alarm ( that excessively high pitch sound). This had happened at 2am & at 9am he was taken, by ambulance, to the LVAD center in Orlando. For the next 2 days there were many tests. It was not until after a CT scan was done that the surgeon noted Jerry's drive line that attached to the pump had twisted cutting off the supply of blood & causing clots on either side of the tubing. We were told a whole new surgery would have to be done. We had received a letter from The Advent Health LVAD group in the summer of 2018,  it stated that due to a manufactures defect, a twisting of the tube could occur. Well this is what happened to my husband. He spent 2 months in the hospital's ICU and succumbed to total organ failure. I am telling this so others can be aware. There's not a second in any day that I don't miss him. He like all of you who opt for the LVAD, are such courageous, pioneers & I applaud you. God bless you all.

I have, if anyone is interested, batteries, the charging unit & plug in unit, 30 driveline kits.  I also have several vests. My Husband was 6ft. tall & 200 lbs. The vests were made for his size. 

May God bless you all,

Thank you,

First of all I’m so sorry for your loss. I know the feeling with a alarm that won’t stop..... My husband as well . The first lvad the heart ware 3 also produced a blood clot in the pump .Sure terror and two strokes and two brain bleeds later another lvad replacement of a heart  mate 3 , we are hopeful for a transplant sometime.
