Here's exciting news about our friend, David's recovery. And I want to thank Shawn Farquar and the International Brotherhood of Magicians for the video.
This update first from Lisa,
Hello,
I know many of you have been anxiously awaiting
some more news..….it has been a while since the last update because
there were no major changes to report.
David and the Doctors have been taking things day
by day; each day coming up with a plan of care and making progress. His
recovery has been focused on building up the breathing strength and
function of the new lungs and also trying to
build up/ recover David’s overall physical strength.
The patience and fortitude has paid off……. As of
now, there are no signs of infection or rejection and Doctors feel that
the lungs are looking good! And yesterday, David was able to beat his
personal best for assisted walking steps!
These are all good signs that he is making forward progress on the
recovery path.
The most significant sign came last night when they
moved David from the post transplant room to a general ICU room. It is
not the transplant step down unit yet, but it is still a milestone to
be recognized and celebrated!!! Visitation
is still restricted, and although we know many of you are eager to get
in and see him, please respect David’s and the Doctors’ requests and
refrain from visiting until the appropriate time.
David sends his love and THANKS for all of the
messages and support you have provided thus far! He has been able to
check messages and e-mails. He wanted me to express his sincerest
apologizes that he has not been able to get back to everyone!
(Last count was 800 e-mail in his inbox) Recovering is exhausted work,
but does try to get online and respond when he is able.
