Transplant Update - Day 1 - Friday 7pm

Jac is now out of surgery and into ITU. She is looking good and doing well so far. There is such a long way to go though. The plan now is to keep her sedated overnight and then look at bringing her round in the morning.

We are all trying to recover a bit now as well and wait for what tomorrow brings.

Also, wanted to say thanks very much for all the wonderful messages of support we have received it really does help more than you can imagine.

I'll keep trying to post these regular updates this week because it's what Jac would do :)

Thanks andrew, I'm so glad for you all. Say hi to her mum and dad as well, I'll be down to see you all in 6 months (I think thats the standard 'keep cfs apart after tx' period). And if you remember when she wakes up, tell her its because I dreamt about it all. She'll know what I mean.

love to you all, thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Hi there,

I've been following Jac's blog for a while now, but haven't commented before. Jac is an amazing lady, and I'm so so glad that she finally got her call and the surgery went ahead.

Great news that she is doing well already, and I'm praying that she recovers swiftly from the surgery and soon gets used to her new lungs.

Hugs,

Becky, Seren & Dylan xxx

Thank you so much for taking the time to keep us updated Andrew, especially when I'm sure you have so much else to focus on. I'm thinking of you and your lovely lady all the time, and also of all Jac's family. I'm just so happy she has finally got those healthy new lungs. Will continue to think of you all over the next few days and weeks as Jac recovers. Much love xxxx
