@BROKENBRITAIN0 @angryginge13 This is America. His captured little mind couldn’t comprehend freedom and that’s sad. What’s even sadder is that he spent his time at the game trying to “ tattletale” on another grown man. So weird.

Personal News: I am writing as a mother and living organ donor.

Twenty years ago this month, our youngest son Peter received a life-saving liver transplant at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh @ChildrensPgh

With Peter’s permission, I’m sharing a photo taken with his older brother a few weeks before his 2006 transplant, when he was in liver failure.

Four years later, he won gold at the U.S. Transplant Games in Madison, Wisconsin. And here he is today—healthy, strong, and thriving.

What I didn’t fully appreciate in 2006 was that Peter and I were part of pioneering research aimed at reducing the risk of organ rejection in pediatric patients.

Even though I donated a segment of my liver to Peter—and as mother and son we are genetically similar—the new testing protocol still helped lower his chances of rejection.

Peter and I participated in a research project that developed a simple blood test called Pleximmune @plexision

It predicts the likelihood of rejection in pediatric patients by analyzing the unique immune chemistry of both the child and the donor.

The test also helps doctors determine exactly how much immunosuppression a child needs to keep rejection at bay.

Our family knows firsthand how valuable this early warning system truly is.

When Peter hit his growth spurt in his early teens, like so many pediatric transplant recipients, he needed increased immunosuppression.

The Pleximmune test predicted this need months in advance, giving his doctors time to adjust his care before problems arose.

The threat of rejection is a cloud that hangs over every transplant patient and family.

This test is making a real difference. It helps prevent rejection and can save tens of thousands of dollars for families and insurance companies.

This is where common sense matters.

In early July, the research team is preparing an appeal to Medicare @MedicareGov to price the Pleximmune test "fairly and consistently" with similar diagnostic tests.

Right now, only a small percentage of the cost of the test for pediatric patients is being reimbursed.

As the team told me, “Fair pricing is the lifeblood of a company’s ability to provide patients with more informed care and continued innovation.”

Today, Pleximmune has been used to test roughly 10% of children under age 21 who have received liver or intestine transplants in the U.S.

If you want to support this important work and help more pediatric patients and their families benefit...

Send a note to your senator, let them know to escalate the matter with Medicare so the appeal gets a fair hearing.

🚨 ÚLTIMA HORA - LÍBANO DEJA CLARO QUE NO ACEPTARÁ LA RENDICIÓN ESTADOUNIDENSE:

Sami Gemayel, dirigente del partido cristiano libanés Kataeb, habla desde el corazón y deja claro que, independientemente de lo que ocurra en las negociaciones entre Irán y EE.UU., la mayoría de los libaneses, de todas las confesiones y comunidades, no están dispuestos a dar marcha atrás ni a seguir siendo rehenes de Hezbolá.

@MatrixMysteries Why is the governor delivering this message like he’s waiting on the authorities to do something about it? Sir, you are the authority that’s supposed to do something about it. So do it!!!!

[Ava Thompson @AvaThompson77]

This… I’ve had this conversation several times. Men need to understand that we are putting our literal lives in their hands. In a 20 yr marriage, we are no longer useful to the workplace, we are no longer useful to another man that wants a family, we lose our actual value. A man needs to be able to understand the responsibility of having a wife forever. Otherwise we get used up and are completely destitute. Men seem prepared for the responsibility of children but not of a wife whose value you used and then discarded. Before anyone comes for me I’m not saying that women are useless, I’m saying that our value gets used and then when it would be hardest for us to build something we are without any resources.

@CynicalPublius I highly recommend a “Wolverine stack” you can purchase online from @drtrevorbachm on his instagram page. It took about 3 weeks for me to be better than new.
