This blog is dedicated to the biggest Ute fan and the best guy in the world - Dwight Osborn. He was diagnosed in July 2009 with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a deadly lung disease with no known cure or treatment that kills as many people every year as Breast Cancer. He was put on the transplant list at the U (go Utes!) on November 29, 2011. We received the call on Friday, December 23rd around 7pm and Dad received the greatest gift ever on Christmas Eve. It really is a wonderful life!

Going on 8 1/2 hours in surgery
Still waiting for word that the surgery's over. He had to be put in a bypass machine earlier and is now off. They're just waiting for the lung to work on its own before they can begin to close him up. Hang in there Dad.
