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!
