Sorry for the late notice; Sheila's interview with CNN's Human Factor was aired today at 11:38 am. For those who missed it, here is the link:
Sheila was just 26 when she contracted meningococcemia. She was in coma for 8 days but survived. She regained her strength but her limbs remained black and lifeless. Barely a month later, she had to make the most difficult decision in her life - face amputation of her limbs or die from the infection. This is her story.

Sheila's First Anniversary
September 18 was the first anniversary of Sheila's bilateral hand transplant. She drove to Pittsburgh for her checkup at UPMC. It's amazing how time goes. The surgery has been a real blessing for her. She works hard at her occupational therapy and we all marvel at her progress.
She was interviewed by CNN as part of their Human Factor program. I'll let you know as soon as I get the link.
