Rosemary, I am sad to say that because my husband has some heart issues, a diaphragm that does not work, and is almost 76 he is not going to be eligible for a lung transplant. All this makes him very high risk. He could be worse off or he could die on the operating table. I know that there are hospitals that do high risk surgery, but we are not willing to take that chance or take a lung from someone much younger. So we are going to enjoy the rest of the time we have together. Which will soon be 56 years. We have a granddaughter getting married in August and another one graduating from pharmacy school next year and he plans to see both this events. Thank you and all the others on this website for the information and encouragement. Will certainly keep you posted.
