Vanessa is in Surgery! :) Need Prayers!

Hello CF members!

I'm not sure if you all know Vanessa, but in case you do, she is in surgery receiving a set of new lungs at this moment!

She has been visiting the CP forum, but I thought maybe she visited here as well, since she has CF.

I will post more as I receive news on her. We are in touch with her mom and boyfriend.

Thank you for your time,

SE/ Screaming Eagle

Hi there SE,

The name Vanessa does ring a bell, I'm useless at remembering people as they have passed through, and haven't been on here for a while.

Wow though, what fantastic news! To hear of anyone getting new lungs is great news. People have to wait for years sometimes, and a lot of the time lungs don't come in time. I wish Vanessa the best for a speedy recovery, and lots of fun settling into a new life where her lungs aren't stopping her so much.

All the very best

Hello Ray and Gemsi!

I just talked with her boyfriend this morning and she is doing well...but they need her to of course keep it up.

There is a little more discussion on the CP forum, so if you all want to, you can visit us there and read up on her.

We don't bite over there on the CP forum, so come visit us! :)

   Hello ellie! Van is now awake and breathing on her own!

   The surgeons and Dr's are very pleased with her progress!

   Such a relief for her family and us as well!

    If you wish, please go to the CP forum for the latest updates on her.

      SE:)    also tell Fishmike I said hello too!

Awsome news, here's hoping to an even speedier recovery once Vanessa is home!!! I'm guessing by this that they have got her antirejection meds spot on, which is fantastic.

Thanks for updating on here too
