I don't know if it was right or wrong but I just Facebook messaged his sister. If I hear from her I'll let you know. |

Don't get excited. She's probably not looking at Facebook but maybe she will see she has a message. |

ZOOOOOM!

I hate not knowing, but—probably it's my total ignorance here—I'm not at all worried. I think that this is a profound transition, sure, and hard as hell to go through, but I think after all's done he's going to be fine. It's not wishful thinking, I just really believe it. |

Apparently we have a couple of friends in common. Anyhow, she's as nice as Jon is. I'm glad she posted on Facebook. |

He's going to have a rough couple of days - don't kid yourselves. The 1st 24 hours are the worst, but once he rounds that bend, it's all improvement, barring any kind of complication (infection, etc). But, the hard part, at least from a technical point, is done. I am *SO* relieved. |

I have also been thinking about how splendid, how miraculous, his first clear breath will feel to him, after so many years of struggle. Edited by Catseye, Jul 16 2016, 03:40 PM.

I would imagine he's still sedated and on a ventilator. They will probably try to get him off tomorrow AM. His first breath, though clear, will hurt like a sonofabitch. |

Thank, God! (The hard part is over with). I imagine it won't be an easy road. His sister promised to tell him his friends are with him in heart and spirit and that we've been praying for him. And like I said she'll keep us posted. George, I'll leave it up to you to tell me when I should ask about him again. How small a world his it that his sister and I have mutual friends? |

I don't know much about transplant surgery, other than kidneys, which, as I said, are trivial. However, I've spent a lot of time in ICUs. This is a (as Joe Biden would say) BFD. He's had both chests opened. That alone, will decrease your breathing capacity by about 50% in the next 18 - 24 hours. The safe thing is to sedate him and let him sleep, on a ventilator, overnight. Then, in the AM, start the weaning process. For someone like him who is young, and basically healthy, this should not be a big deal. Assuming that there's no acute rejection or infection, he should bounce pretty well, with a quick recovery. It always amazes me how young people do so well. The AM would be a good time to inquire. Nothing's going to change until then. |

Like spiritually? |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |
