D-Day

6/4/15

4:53 am

They said she will be back in icu in about another hour. Wow that means that she is already breathing through her new lungs!

5:33 am

Jane is out of surgery in back in the icu. Spoke to the surgeon everything went as expected and without complications. Her first new lung was 'turned on' at 2:20 am her second new long turned on at 3:44 am. I should be able to see her soon. She should be off ventilator later on today and I can talk to her

 

8:42 am

Jane is in and out. Still on ventilator. But clearly very  cognizant

9:56 am

Jane just had her first post transplant  bronchoscopy. Everything looks good connections to new lungs and lungs themselves looking great.

1:02pm

Jane may not being coming off ventilator today. Lungs not getting oxygenated as desired. They are going to give her epidural so she can breathe deeper on her own without pain. This should help.

2:45 pm

They just took her off ventilator. Breathing on her with supplemental oxygen now. Next step ween her off the oxygen.  Still a ways to go but making steps in right direction
