Short trip

Didn`t think we would be home so soon. Don`t worry we are still going. Sue and Gilles kindly took us to the airport and we checked in great. Flying standby on a weekend with spring breakers has proved more difficult than expected, all direct flights to Chicago are full and over booked. So instead of waiting around all day Alex the Pilot came to our rescue and picked us up from the airport and we shall be travelling via Las Vegas arriving 5am Chicago time tomorrow morning. Thanks for all the kind messages.

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.
