Just wondering...sometimes after the call, it doesn't work out?

Hi @jodee, How is your son doing after checkups? My husband received a double lung transplant just over two years ago and he has a lot of ups and downs in his breathing capacity. A decrease in pulmonary function is always a sign of something going on and triggers his team to investigate and treat.

hansonca03 @hansonca03, I want to welcome you to Mayo Connect. I am a liver/kidney transplant recipient, so I don't have experience with lung transplant. But from what I understand it is a complex surgery that requires a well coordinated recovery. I met a woman with a new lung transplant at my local lab once, and she was wearing a mask that she needed for protection. I don't know how long she will wear it or if she'll choose to wear it whenever she goes to the lab.
You say that your husband has had ups and downs with his breathing capacity. Are you near his transplant team to get treatment? I can imaging that that must be frightening for you when it occurs.
I want to introduce you to @myson. She recently shared the news that her son had a double lung transplant early November 2018. If you scroll back through this discussion, you can read about her son's experience from her eyes. I think she would appreciate meeting you. Your experience with lung transplant as a caregiver is a special gift that can be a comfort and blessing to her and to other lung transplant patients.
How is your husband doing at this point?
