Well we went to see Dr. Marsh, the doctor that did the lung transplant and he also mention Dr. Cozier who was the doctor who actually saved John's life the night he crashed and he is the doctor that put him on the oscillator. That brought back awesomely terrible memories.
John needs surgery for a Hiatal Hernia that is contributing to his acid reflux. They will wrap some stomach around the esophagus and food will go in, a bit harder, but have more trouble coming out. They will do it in about 4 to 6 weeks after he loses 10 pounds or so. This surgery will also help in maintaining or even helping lung function. It will also help stop any rejection. He also has some kidney trouble due to diabetes. But this seems under control for the moment. July 28, 2010 we go for 5 year checkup and will find out better how the lung function is doing and if the rejection is under control.
