We received a call at 1am this morning stating that they had new lungs for Greg. Well, it is now almost 7:30am and they should be wheeling him down around 8am. The lungs are coming from Detroit, Michigan and everything looks great. So, ideally, around 9am the surgery should begin, 11am the new lungs should be here, and then 24 hours later Greg will be off the vent.Everything is set and ready to go. He has been prepped and now we just wait until he is wheeled down. Of course, he is hungry and tired (as we all are) but that should be taken care of soon.Wow! Have to jet! They are early and ready to take him down. Ciao
Transplant Time!
