Road to recovery

On July 8th at 10:05 PT Sara took her first free breath with her new lungs! Since then she has moved from the bed to a chair, changed rooms and has had some of her "decorations" (a term for all the different tubes, lines, wires, sensors, monitors, dressings and the like that "decorate" a person coming out of surgery) removed. The doctors are calling her a "Superstar" but that is an understatement! She is so strong and determined, a true inspiration to many of us. Although, she is still in a lot of pain she continues to work hard and make daily improvements. Amongst our excitement and joy we are sadded for the donors family and wish them comfort during this difficult time. What a selfless gift to give, life.
