We got a phone call yesterday around 2PM while I was shopping that Duke might have a match for new lungs for Sherry and to get to the hospital as soon as possible. I had to rush home to get her and we got to the hospital at 3:15 and was taken to the room to wait for word if they matched. They finally took her to the OR at 10:00PM.
At 6:30, we received word that the surgery was finished and she was in ICU and we were able to see her for about 15 mins and she looked great. Her report was she came thru the surgery great and had no problems. We should be able to see and talk with her late this afternoon and she might be able sit up some also.
Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts in the last few months. I will bring her the ‘puter and let her update when she can. I’m not too good at this.
Congratulations, and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
