Hey, I saw in the organ donor thread that your mom had a double lung transplant before she passed. My mom had a single transplant 5 yrs before she passed.

Just wanted to commiserate and give you hugs. I've never met anyone in such a similar situation.

Wow! Small world. Isn't it amazing what they can do these days?

Nowadays they have figured out it is easier on the patient to do the double lung. The surgery is more of a bitch, but they fare better since the underlying disease is not present in the transplanted lungs.

Glad your mom got another chance at life :-)

Yours, too! I got all a-flutter reading the list of things your mom got to do b/c of her transplant. <3

It was pretty amazing :-)

Glad your Mom got so much time!
