Dad was able to go home a day & a half after surgery... this has to be some sort of record! The original plan was for him to spend 24 hours in I.C.U. following surgery, then be transferred to his room where he would spend at least a couple more nights before going home. But in typical Ozzy fashion, he cruised through what was supposed to be a 3-hour surgery in 40 minutes, they decided based on his awesome health to skip the I.C.U., and after one night he was already up & about walking the halls of the hospital in his Utes hat & hospital gown! The Doc was like "You don't need to be here!"
Great job Pops... You're an inspiration to us all!!
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!

Atta boy Pops!!
Great job today Dad!! It didn't surprise me at all when the Dr. said it couldn't have gone better!
Way to go Ozzy!!
Janice sent me a text that Dwight is recovering fine from the surgery this morning and did not even have to go into the ICU afterwards. He's a Ute but he's a tough guy anyway! :)
Way to go Ozzy- you'll be back on the golf course in no time!!

Waiting
We're here in the waiting room at University Hospital - no word yet. Doctor's said that they'll update us when they find anything. We're planning on Dad being in surgery until about Noon, and then in the ICU until Thursday morning. He was doing great when they wheeled him into surgery and just looking forward to getting it overwith.
Mom's good friend Ann Bagley who works here at University Hospital stopped by to say hello and really lifted Mom's spirits. She's doing great - so proud of her!
