I spent all day yesterday praying for my uncle. 30 years in the coal mines left him with black lung. 3 weeks ago he was put on the transplant list and had to be hospitalized as home oxygen was no longer enough. His family got the call Tuesday evening that a donor had been found. He went it at noon yesterday for a double lung transplant. The surgery lasted 10 hours but the new lungs are working perfectly. I found out a few minutes ago that he is back in the operating room for the 2nd time overnight for bleeding. It is not the new lungs it is small vessels around the lungs that are causing problems. I'm praying hard that this surgery is successful and he can begin the journey of healing.
