Johanna was twenty-nine when she was diagnosed with mast cell disease. Mast cells are important players in our immune system.
They help attract other cells of the immune system by releasing a sort of chemical ‘alarm,’ which leads to an allergic reaction.
People with the mast cell disease have too many mast cells, and their bodies develop dangerous anaphylactic reactions.
Johanna was starting to be ‘allergic’ to her husband, Scott.
Johanna had to move to a room that was sealed off. She communicated with Scott using Skype.
Scott was determined to transform their home into a safe place for Johanna.
He renovated their Minneapolis home so he could be closer to her.

Scott was able to make an allergen-free space for Johanna on the lower level and an apartment for him on the upper level.
