Hi. My husband and I will be primary caregivers for our adult son. We are waiting for his new lungs. Six weeks have gone by and the anxiety builds. I am wondering if anyone with a similar experience can give us a heads up for surgery and recovery of a double lung transplant.

@myson, I am a liver/kidney transplant recipient (2009). I want to extend my sincere welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Both me and my husband know how slowly time moves prior to transplant. It is as if the clock has quit working, and that is compounded by all of the caregiving necessities.

Whatever the organ involved, we all experience very similar emotions and stress. I invite you to the Trans[plant Discussion where there is an active discussion going on with other organ transplant caregivers. Read thru it, join in with questions, or begin a new discussion. Do not be concerned with 'liver caregivers' in the title.

I look forward to hearing from you and from others as we support and encourage each other.
