Jan 2014

My neighbor received his double lung transplant after an almost 3 year wait. Three times before the actual transplant he was called and prepped at one of Chicago's major medical centers only to find that the donor's lungs were damaged beyond further use. He is now healthy and of course off the oxygen with a blood oxygen level even better than mine!

Wishing WCGreen a speedy and complete recovery!
