Day 5

Good progress today. His pain is greatly reduced after some tubes were removed and some excess air and fluid.

Just finished a bronchscopy to see from the inside how things are healing. Doc said it looks excellent and thinks things are going well.

He is still wiped out, think crash-test dummies after the wall.

Overall things continue to progress on or about the expected course of recovery.

Last night Dana and I sent a thank you card to the donor's family. Tough to write but we wanted to get something to them quickly. On that note, any one that has not signed an organ donor card please do so ASAP. We never know when tragedy will happen and we might as well do what we can to have something positive come out of tragedy.

More later.

  2. WOW am I slow. Didn't think about the origin of the lungs until I read this. Just looking at the one side. Yes, I agree, organ donor for sure.

  3. Justin and Dana,
    Chris is in our prayers, and keep reminding him that the pain he feels is healing pain and that will go away. God bless his donor and your family.

    Peace, Joy and Love,
