I am quietly concerned about the immune-suppressive drugs she will need to take. A retired pilot friend of mine recently passed away after being a 2 year survivor of a heart/total lung replacement. He caught a bad cold/flu, and due to the immune system drugs that could not be stopped, died from the secondary infection.
Time will tell.

Second and sometimes third opinions can be a godsend. Prayers and well wishes to Laura and you Lou.

Lou, I'm glad to hear you exercised your right to a second opinion and it worked out for you. Oh and lankenau is a good hospital. I've had several nieces and a nephew born there years ago. They had a great reputation when I was working at another trauma center in the area as well. Prayers for you and Laura have been sent up.

Wow, I had no idea Lou. For what it's worth a heart/lung is the most serious transplant procedure, while a kidney transplant is darn near commonplace now.
The immunosuppressants used will not be as strong IIRC.
Sorry to hear about your friend, but am glad he got another couple of years with his loved ones.
God is in charge, and I have a feeling he's intending for Laura to stay down here for a while!
Have you asked your doc about the immunosuppressants? They can vary wildly based upon the reaction to the donor organ(s).
Give your better half a big hug from Korea!
