Shazza`s Birthday


Its Shazza`s Birthday today and we wait patiently in the Hotel in Chicago more tests and Drs to see next week at the Northwestern to look forward to. Our hearts are in Arizona where we wish we were with the lads and Pat. Lets hope the treatment Shazza needs arrives before her next birthday as the stem cell funding is good until Feb 09. Thursday could be the best present ever. Thanks for all the Birthday messages on email and blog. Also Happy Birthday to Lisa Volz who is Shazza`s sclero twin her story can be found in the links opposite.

Happy Birthday Sharon,
We are sending all our good wishes to you for Thursday. You can stop sending the crummy weather here though. It is cold and windy....well probably not as cold as windy as Chicago, but I don't like it anyway. All the best.

About Me

I work as an RN in Endoscopy at John C. Lincoln Hospital and in 2006 I was diagnosed with Systemic Scleroderma, a condition that has no known treatment and was always symptom management. After doing some research, I discovered Dr. Burt, a doctor in Chicago who is pioneering the use of stem cell transplant to treat Scleroderma. This process uses my own stem cells - taken from me, cleaned, and then re-introduced back into my body, so that it will no longer recognize the Scleroderma. This is a very basic summary of a complex procedure. Systemic Scleroderma has a very poor prognosis and with my symptoms worsening I feel that this is my only chance at getting treatment and reversing my symptoms. I have worked for 6 years at JCL, Deer Valley and hope to continue there with excellence. I wish to continue be a good mother to my 2 boys, a good wife to my wonderful husband, and maybe one day be a good grandmother.
