@shacquie i live in a very small town so I drove to Santa Barbara 2 hours away because of a really nice hospital there that was much more advanced than the one in my area I was in ICU for many months and was transported by ambulance to USC/Keck in Los Angeles which did transplant surgeries, look for the biggest hospital I recommend USC is 5 hours from my house it was totally worth it, I’m over 3 years Post and doing very well and swimming almost everyday

@pgruetz thats an incredible story. Thank you so much for sharing with me. I really appreciate it. Your story is similar to what im going through right now. Its incredibly hard to get an appointment with anyone. Her gastroentologist is on vacation till the end of the month and doesn't have anyone else she can see there. Ive thought of driving to Mayo in Phoenix because its the nicest closet hospital to us. Only 6 hours.
