A new lung for Christmas!

Dads in surgery as we speak and getting a new lung. He got the call last night around 7pm and we didn't know for sure if it would actually happen until 9am this morning. We're all here waiting for him to come out of surgery - probably til at least 1-3pm. If all goes well, he'll be in the surgical ICU for a couple of days and then he'll be moved back up to the transplant floor for at least another 5-7 days after that. He's got quite a rough road ahead of him, even if everything goes perfectly. We're so very grateful for all of the love and support we feel from our family and friends. We love you all so much! Our hearts are also full with thoughts of the donor's family and what they must be going through right now. We hope and pray that they know how incredibly grateful we are for this amazing gift. Stay tuned!
