Yes, thanks for the update Chad. 

Steve, been praying for you for some time now. Hope this will be the right set, I know it's frustrating to keep going though all this. 

Steve:  thoughts and prayers are with you!

Thanks for the update, hope all goes well

Any update on Steves condition?

Great news!

I'm crossing my fingers. 

Thanks for the update, I was thinking about him yesterday evening and hoping all had went well. 

Hello friends.  So, I had a visit with Steve this morning and let me tell you, he looks fantastic!  He'll be released mid to late next week.  The surgery, which normally takes 8-9 hours, took his surgical team 5.5 hours! The lungs are an exact fit so there is no discomfort associated with the new lungs, but he does feel pain in the chest for obvious reasons. He's a bit hoarse but hes talking without any issues!  He's very grateful for all your thoughts and prayers! The story of taking the first breath is very personal and special so I'll let him tell you his experience when he's back on his PC which will be very soon!  So exciting!

That's fantastic news Chad, thanks for keeping us updated! 

AWESOME news. Still praying for him just to be safe. Hope to see him posting again soon.
