Teena, our wonderful friend, daughter, wife and mother is dealing with the fight of her life. After many mysterious months of not feeling well, doctors finally found that Teena is dealing with Pulmonary Veno-Occlusive Disease (PVOD). Here is some information on it http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/pulmonary-veno-occlusive-disease/

In order to get better, Teena needs a heart and lung transplant and she needs all of us to help. Please keep her in your prayers as well as donating what you can to the family expenses. Right now she needs Nathan with her at Stanford Hospital in CA. There is nowhere he would rather be but that also means he can't be at work. They are going to need help with day to day bills and travel expenses, let alone medical expenses.

Please give as much as you can to help and forward this site to anyone you can think of that might be able to help as well. We are counting on you!!

Nathan just called me and explained that Teena is seeing a new round of specialists and is going through testing at Stanford. There is a chance they may be able to do some things to help her before a transplant is necessary so we will keep our fingers crossed for that.

Aside from that, it still remains that the family could be without income for awhile and has expenses piling up already. They still need our help during this medical emergency so give what you can.
