My miraculous journey began eight years ago when I was told I
needed a pancreas transplant. Little did I know that my life would
change drastically after I received it. The transplant was a success
until I decided to be part of a study.
This study was on different anti rejection drugs. There was a
group of eight pancreas transplant participants in the study. Six of
the eight transplanted patients went into rejection using the new
drugs from this study. Once this happened they used rabbit serum,
Thymoglobulin, to counter the effects of the rejection.
Being part of the study I was given the rabbit serum treatment
too; through an IV. Not knowing it at the time, this was the worst
thing that could have happened to me. My body went into
anaphylactic shock. Within an hour I began burning from the inside
out, all body functions seized, and I was declared clinically dead.
Years later, I wrote the book, Walk On, about my experiences
in the hospital and the long journey of recovery I went through.
Through it all God has been there helping me along the way. He
has helped me find the light in this dark tunnel.
People always ask me what has happened since writing my
first book. I am starting this blog as a way for people to
contact me and keep everyone posted.
