greg has a new lung! hiphip! hooray!!
his mom called and said they have taken him to intensive care and will keep him pretty heavily sedated for the next 24-48 hours since the lung was outside the donor for a while and they want to reduce any risk from swelling.
she said she and his dad were allowed to peek at him as they wheeled him into the ICU room and he still looks like greg! :)
the donor's other lung was given to another patient at the hospital... a very interesting new connection for greg to another person.
fantastic news, really! i will post more on his progress as i hear it. yay for greg!!
