February 19, 2020 This photo was taken on Jan 17 when Dennis was discharged from the hospital. He has been home from the hospital 4 weeks and 5 days but who is counting?!?! My dad was here for 3 weeks, helping around the house and with hospital visits. He was good moral support in the first 3 weeks of transitioning out of the hospital.I continue driving to the hospital 3-4 times a week for clinic visits, therapy and testing. His biopsy the end of January indicated some rejection (a 2 on a scale of 1-4) so he was put on high doses of steroids. Steroids make people edgy and Dennis was no exception. He has digestive tests tomorrow, the 27th and Mar 5. He has another branch and biopsy on the 28th and on Mar 4th he gets his sternum repaired so as you can see we're busy in recovery. He's getting stronger every day. It's just a slow process! January 13, 2020 Dennis has been in rehab for 2 weeks now. He may get discharged this week. We'll know more tomorrow when the rehab team meets. We meet with the dietician tomorrow and the transplant nurse on Wed. These meetings are required prior to discharge. We'll have several hours of training on Dennis's medications. I'm preparing the house for when he gets home. We've ordered a walker and things to help in the bathroom. Dennis has been working hard in therapy to get stronger. He has more confidence in his abilities too. Hopefully the next post will be "he's home"! January 6, 2020 Dennis has been in rehab since Tues., Dec 31. He gets 3 hours of intense speech, physical and occupational therapy. He is having some nausea and dizzyness issues from all the medication, which hinders his therapy. The lung dr. came in yesterday and said his lungs look great. He's able to wear regular clothes now so that is nice. I took him for a stroll around the hospital yesterday in the wheelchair. It was his first trip outside since Oct. 29. Hopefully he can get his strength back soon and be discharged soon. There is a lot to learn about him living at home without nursing supervision. It will probably take both of us to keep track of everything! January 1, 2020 Hard to believe it's the start of a new year! Hopefully 2020 will be full of happy, healthy days and no looking back! Dennis had his traech and chest drain tubes removed Thurs afternoon, the 26th, in preparation of his transfer to rehab. As the insurance company would have it, they didn't approve the transfer until Tues. Dec 31 so yesterday was his first day there. No more isolation gowns and gloves to enter the room! What a pain that was. He was evaluated today by the new therapist today. He'll have 3 hours of therapy a day. He's just started standing without a walker today. He got clearance to drink regular beverages last week so no more nectar thick liquids. Dennis looks like himself again, less 45 lbs.! December 26, 2019 So Dennis and I spent Christmas in the hospital but we made the best of it. They're currently watching his chest tube output. The chest tubes were clamped the last couple of days but they've unclamped them to make sure he doesn't have an infection. It's apparently difficult to treat an infection at the bottom of the lungs. If they decide there is no infection, the chest tubes and traech will come out and he heads to rehab! Keep your fingers crossed! December 20, 2019 Dennis was able to walk about 60' of the hallway at the hospital today, with a walker that keeps him standing tall. They're still adjusting his anti rejection drugs. We're hoping his traech comes out soon and that can begin healing. It's been a long road but still hoping he'll be home for New Years! December 19, 2019 Dennis got chest drain tubes put back in on Sunday and he's having another bronchoscopy today. According to the transplant team I saw yesterday, they're continuing to watch the fluid and haziness in his lungs. He will be on antibiotics for awhile They also said he is ready to be evaluated to go to rehab which is the last step before coming home. He Had a good day yesterday but had no PT or OT so he got to rest. I also brought him Italian food for dinner so he was very happy about that! Hopefully they'll have him walking down the hall way by the end of the week December 15, 2019 Sorry it's been almost a week since I've posted an update. Dennis is able to eat solid food now but can only drink nectar thick liquids, which he hates. The hospital food is pretty bad so I'm trying to bring him food from home but he doesn't have much of an appetite. He's dizzy and nauseas a lot which they say is a side effect of all the meds he's on. He sleeps a lot and didn't want to work with physical therapist yesterday so I'm going to try to get him to do exercises, speech, arm and legs, this weekend so he's stronger on Monday. He is getting out of bed easier, standing and taking a few steps. I can' t wait to see him walking down the hall in the hospital, even if it's with a walker. He has to make more progress walking and moving around before he can go to rehab so maybe that will happen next week. Keep your eyes fingers crossed! December 9, 2019 Hard to believe I'm typing a December date. How fast time flys! Dennis had his transplant on November 10, exactly a month ago tomorrow. From being on the ventilator so long, the left side of Dennis's vocal cords had become paralyzed. They injected it with Botox yesterday and significantly improved his ability to speak with the speaking valve. He was able to FaceTime his brother yesterday! Unfortunately this is only a 3 month fix but we'll address that at a later date. He has another bronchoscopy today to again clean out his lungs. His leak on the right side is almost healed. No word on when he can move to rehab but they're supposed to try and walk today. Progress....just slow. Have a great week! December 6, 2019 Dennis got moved out of ICU yesterday. All new nursing staff and procedures to get used to. He can no longer check his oxygen saturation rate. A heart dr. came in yesterday and told us Dennis had an atrial heart flutter He had that fixed this morning. He had a swallowing test yesterday and he's now able to eat puréed food Not sure how he's going to like that. He continue's to get physical therapy and was able to stand briefly. Unfortunately Dennis is mentally ready to do a lot more than his body is able to do but all in good time He will get stronger! December 3, 2019 Good news today! They're going to move Dennis out of ICU today or tomorrow, depending on when a bed becomes available The air leak on his right lung is healing so no surgery needed and he can start using the speaking valve again. Everything just takes time but he's doing really well considering what he has gone through. Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers! ❤️ November 29, 2019 I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends Dennis is still on a feeding tube so I told him we would have a Thanksgiving dinner when's he gets home. He has been breathing on his own with very little support but still has the traech. He has a speaking value but because of the size of the traech and the amount of effort required to make it work, most of our communication is still via note writing. He had a little setback a couple days ago. He had air and fluid around the outside of his lungs so they had to put a chest drain tube back in on his right side and they replaced one on his left side. They make him uncomfortable and one is pretty painful. They found he also has an air leak where the right lung attaches to his airway. His right lung wasn't inflating fully and filling the chest cavity. They're hoping the leak will heal on it's own but they can put in a shunt if it doesn't. It's good they found the leak now and not 2 months from now. Wed. the Dr. said he probably has 10 more day s in ICU and 10-15 days in rehab before he can come home. The Dr.'s keep saying he is really strong and doing well. We're hoping he'll be home for Christmas! November 25, 2019 So Dennis requested a shave and had them shave off his beard and moustache. I've only seen him without it one other time in 13 years. Everyone says he looks 10 years younger. Dennis called me on the phone yesterday. I didn't recognize his voice but he was talking in complete sentences. He also sent me a text this morning! They continue to clean out his lungs and he had a CAT scan this morning. They're getting ready to sit him up in the 'caddy' chair, which he likes most of the time. He plays music on his phone so loud people hear it when they walk by his room. Everyone thinks that's pretty cool coming from a double lung transplant patient in ICU. Hopefully we'll be moving out of ICU as he continues his progress and gains more strength! November 22, 2019 Dennis has had a good week Thye took him off the ventilator yesterday, capped his traech and he was able to talk a little bit It was very exciting for both of us. They also sat him up in bed. They're continuing the physical therapy twice a day to get his core strength back. He has limited use of his arms because they cut his sternum so he has to be careful and avoid any movement to that area for at least 8 weeks. They continue to actively monitor his heart rate and any fluid build up in and around his lungs Every day we take another baby step forward. Thank you everyone for your support! November 19, 2019 Dennis is breathing more and more on his own everyday so hopefully the ventilator can be turned off soon! Today Dennis was able to write notes to me. This is the first time he's been able to communicate with note writing since his transplant on Nov. 10th. They increased his anti rejection med a little today so they'll know what dosage he'll need once he's discharged. He was awake all day today so hopefully he'll sleep tonight and get back on a normal schedule. We actually Face timed his brother today! We're making progress everyday!! November 16, 2019 Dennis was awake most of the day today. He's getting feisty and ready to get out of bed. He was lifting his arms and the nurse was impressed with his movement. He'll have physical therapy tomorrow to work on improving his strength. He still has the traech but doesn't seem to be in any pain. I'll be going to the hospital early tomorrow to make sure he gets to follow the Vikings football game, even if we have to watch it on his phone! As one of Dennis's friends said, keep beaming the positive juju our way! November 14, 2019 They woke Dennis up today for a neuro assessment and he squeezed my hand! They're going to take out his breathing tube tomorrow and put the traech back in. This will make him more comfortable when he's awake. I went to a support meeting today and there was a guy there who had his transplant 12 years ago! Each day we make a little progress. They're taking really good care of him! November 13, 2019 Today was a good day. The bleeding has stopped The plan now is to wake him up slowly and wein him off the ventilator. Once that happens they'll get him up to sit in a chair and start walking We're making good progress. It's just not happening as quickly as I would like! November 11, 2019 They found donor lungs for Dennis yesterday and he went to surgery for the transplant around 9pm last night. At 2:30am the dr. called and the transplant went very well. Dennis is currently having some internal bleeding issues they're addressing but the first 24 hours after the surgery is a critical time He's in one of the best transplant hospitals in the country so we're very optimistic November 8, 2019 This picture of Dennis was taken Oct 8th, exactly one month ago today. He had just sailed our sailboat from Everett, WA to Chula Vista, CA. This was to be our beach front property home for the hot summers, since we both recently retired. Dennis worked for over 30 years as an ironworker, building large structures across the Pacific NW and in the Southwest. Two weeks after returning to Az, Dennis started not feeling well. I took him to the ER on Friday, Oct 25th where they determined he had a raging infection and his oxygen level was low. He had a mild case of pulmonary fibrosis, or so we thought. Somehow he now had an acute exacerbation of the fibrosis. Eight days later he was put on a breathing machine to keep him alive until he could get a double lung transplant. We're currently waiting on donor lungs so he can start his road to recovery. It will be a long road but we're optimistic this will give him many more years on this earth. I'll try to keep this tribute page updated so you can follow his journey.

William “Bill” Birge Our Dad, Bill Birge, was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis at age 74 years old. Neither he or his family were familiar with this disease. The prognosis looked grim — as it does for everyone with IPF/PF. He wasn’t a candidate for transplant, but was prescribed medications thought to slow the progression of the disease. Thankfully, he never contracted Covid, but experienced a set-back in October 2021, and was hospitalized. He thought that was going to be “the end”. From that point forward, he was tethered to an oxygenator, basically leaving him housebound. Through the anxiety and worry he continued to fight for air until he took his final breath on October 23, 2022. He made it seven years post diagnosis, just twelve days shy of his 81st birthday — though the prognosis was 2-5 years. Bill was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. Bill loved spending time with his family, being outdoors, tinkering with old tractors and engines, planting a garden, and taking photographs. He was handsome and always had a corny joke to tell. There is a hole in our hearts and he will be missed immensely, but we are comforted knowing that he no longer has to struggle to breathe. We believe that he would have wanted a world without Pulmonary Fibrosis, and that nobody has to endure the cruelty that comes with this disease. Your donation(s) will help with the development of new and effective treatments for patients — ultimately, leading to a cure for this devastating disease.

Jimmie Lynn Owen My dad. "Jimmie Lynn" to his sister, cousins and friends from childhood. My dad loved airplanes and flying. He loved the sky, the clouds, and the air. He loved sharing his passion for flying with any and all who were willing to go with him. He loved introducing the vastness of the sky to folks who had never never been above the ground and showing them the beautiful colors and patterns of our communities from above. If he was not in the air, he was probably looking up into the sky.Dad was a farmer. He worked hard on the land that he made our home, caring for the pastures to feed the cattle, mending fences, cutting and baling hay for the winter months' feeding. He enjoyed the animals and being outside on the farm with "Old Denny" the bull, the calves Smut and Rusty, and the many others that trusted him for their care.. He loved sharing the outdoors with our family and friends, taking us for tractor rides, pointing out the different species of plants and trees, sharing nature. He enjoyed being outside in the open air. Dad was also a proud and faithful employee of Eastern Airlines. He commuted from south Mississippi to the international airport in New Orleans, usually with his window down for the fresh air. That air would help him stay awake as he drove home in the middle of the night. He would awake the next day, breath deeply, and head outside to the chores of the farm before making the trip to the airport and Eastern Airlines offices again. It came on gradually. One day his hacking cough worsened, he became short of breath, he became weak, he couldn't climb up into the tractor, walk through the field, or fly among the clouds. It continued to slowly take his breath and eventually took his life. It was pulmonary fibrosis.

My name is Tatiana Riera, and I am the daughter of a wonderful man who fought against IPF since 2014.

There is nothing more painful than seeing your loved one deteriorating because of this disease and knowing that they are suffering. It is a thing that I don't wish anyone to go through. I pray for everyone who is going through it, and their families, to have a lot of strength and hope. The loss of a loved one is devastating.
