    Jen is officially on the waiting list for a lung transplant at Cleveland Clinic, Ohio. Our doctors here in Mexico City are talking with Cleveland Clinic as we prepare for our first visit there in late March 2016. It is being discussed that Jen go on a trial medicine also while we are there, aimed at stopping her lung condition from deteriorating further. It is not a cure and it has been recommended to us to continue with he transplant process.

    We thank you for all the support and we thank Give A Little and Spark Foundation for this fantastic fundraising platform, it gives us some hope in our journey!
