COTAforJensH.com is now Lungs4Jens.blogspot.com

Since we officially begain our partnership with COTA two years ago, we have decided to not renew our website domain with them (www.cotaforjensh.com). We are still a part of the COTA family. All blog posts and information was transferred to this page, but we have not re-formatted or added the pictures to the blog posts.

For additional information on our story, we encourage you to visit our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/lungs4jens

Lung4Jens

Jens was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis in 1984, at the age of 1. Jens's health, due to Cystic Fibrosis, had been declining the past few years ("The Last 5 Years..."). Prior to his transplant, he spent over 4 hours a day doing breathing treatments, in addition to being hooked up to IV antibiotics for over 12 hours a day. His lung function was around 16%. At that point, he experienced his quality of life decline in such a way that he decided that it was time to pursue undergoing a double-lung transplant at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC).

On May 18, 2014, Jens received a double-lung transplant. He recovered for a year in Pittsburgh, PA before moving to Durham, NC, where he currently resides.

We hope that you will follow Jens's amazing journey with us. Stay tuned to the Facebook page and Twitter for more updates!
