====================
George has new lungs in him!!! Unbelievable that it's finally happened! Now, he needs to work on breathing on his own (getting off of the ventilator) and we need to pray that the lungs are not rejected. Go, George, Go!!

George-Update Below
My best friend Lynette has a younger brother, George, and he has been on the double lung transplant waiting list for 18 months. He got the call this morning at 5am that there was a match for him. This evening they discovered that the lungs were not good enough and they were dealing with extreme disappointment. However, the doctors and nurses were able to get the donor lungs into good enough condition and he is off to the OR. Please pray for George, he will be in surgery for about 8-10 hours and could have perfectly awesome lungs tomorrow (after a tough recovery). I'm so scared/nervous/excited for their family.
