Dr. Cahill and the surgeon Dr. Abraham did another broncoscopy a few minutes ago to see if they could find where the air leak was coming from and they said everything looks good - the soochers are healing nicely and they didn't see any leakage. I could even see that things were looking better than the last time- less gunk down there than before. There's a small chance there could still be some rejection, but they don't want to biopsy the lung yet or start him on steroids until he gets some more meat on his bones and this air stops showing up in his chest and around the heart.
I guess he'll be here in ICU for another couple of days, but what do I know?
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!
