Thank You @johnbishop @rosemarya for links and information to research. I have read a good amount of what is out there. I was hoping to hear from any other transplant recipients who may have experienced it, but looks as though this is as uncommon of a condition as it says it is. @colleenyoung, he will need what is called a surgical plication that lifts the diaphragm. He undergoes more pulmonary testing next week, we will make a decision to proceed after those results. Again, thank you for your responses and best wishes.

Hi @brenwhite, I'm checking in. What did you learn with the pulmonary testing? What's in store for your son?

@brenwhite, I am sending my thoughts and hopes to you and your son on this Sunday morning. As a transplant patient/recipient, I know how complicated our lives can be. As a mom and caregiver for your son, we are here for you.
