Joy and Wayne Bulla

My wife Joy and I live in the Chicago area and came to Durham in June 2007 to prepare for her bilateral lung transplant which was done on 7/1/2007 and it is through that experience that I saw a significant opportunity for improved training for the caregivers. As you know, reference to caregivers in the Duke Transplant Guide is virtually non-existent and although the support groups lead by the social workers are beneficial, I felt that preparing a Caregivers Guide based upon my experience would help future caregivers. We have begun to distribute and discuss this guide in the weekly caregivers support groups and has been well received.
