Yesterday I received an email from Caspiana advising that she had received "That Call" from the hospital, telling her to come in as they had a lung for her.
I have not heard from Cas since so I can only assume that she did have a lung transplant yesterday.
If you are of a mind please keep Cas in your prayers during this testing time as she starts recovery.
For those who did not know, this was a battle being fought very courageously for the past several years.
Hi, I know she was having 1 lung only, as I was waiting for 2, I do hope all has gone smoothly and Cas will be back with us all very Soon. Please , if you can, give her all our Love from her Loving Lung Buddies. Big Big Prayers and Positive Love going to Caspiana. XXXXX Carolina.
I am sitting here thinking of Cas and praying that wonderful person will come through the op and everything works out for her. She deserves it and a lot more. Bless you Cas.
Snoopy if you do not receive many replies don't be offended or alarmed.we all care very much but BSA-3 has already beaten you to the scoop and we are all rooting for dear Cas.
I did know about this and send my warmest wishes for a swift and full recovery. Much love to our lovely friend and lung compatriot. Thanks for info Snoopy. X
Thanks for thinking of us, Snoopy . Are you a friend of Chom’s? We are all rooting for our dear friend and hoping her op is a complete success. She so deserves this after waiting so long .
Hi 😊 no I'm still waiting it's been 2years one month and to be honest it's flown past but I hope every day I get that call. Hope you and your family are well xxx
As someone who has recently undergone that surgery i know what Casp and the family will be going through. My best wishes go out to all involved and knowing how mentally strong Casp is have faith that she will go from strength to strength. Will be thinking of her.
Hi there Snoopy...Thank you for that. I am praying for Cas and if you can please tell her I am also thinking of her intensely! Loads of love to her❤❤❤🙏
Much love and prayers are sent to our Caspiana for a healthy and speedy recovery, we are here holding her hand every inch of the way, please keep us updated xx
I do hope Cas is ok and is recovering well .Please send her my very best wishes and lots of love and hugs ,and hope it won't be too long til we hear from this brave lady in-person.
I was thinking of our Caspiana last night at 10pm, as BSA-3 had also given us the terrific news and that was the time she,fingers crossed,would have started her new journey. (I think it was another member and good friend,who gave us the approx time).
I'm so very hopeful for Cas and can't wait to hear how things are going for her.
We all know and love Cas and are well aware of her struggles and am so very happy to hear she finally got the call for the transplant and pray all goes well. Of course we may never know the extent of her struggles as she was never a complainer.
Someone (with COPD) told me a transplant may last about ten years.
Couldn't it be a precaution that one at a time?
Less invasive for the lady to cope with?
They are extremely precise.
My thoughts and prayers, too.
Sadly, in Japan,due to a shortage of donors, you are only offered one lung.
I have met ladies who are now 29 years and 22 years post transplant and still going strong.
I am hoping that in time Cas will be on here to tell us all about her experience, but it will take time. She will remain in hospital for at least 12 weeks undergoing rehab and close monitoring by the medical team.
I've just got round to reading all these wonderful messages. 😃😁😊 Thank you for posting. 🌷
I must add however that Japan does do double lung transplants but only when completely necessary. I got one lung because my disease allowed for it. In the case of a CF patient that wouldn't be so.
Thank you Huff. ❤😘😃 I want to keep in touch more but with one thing and another I seem to be swamped everyday. But when I get home I will do better. I hope you are well and your lovely sheep. xx😉😄😊
I’m not surprised you’re swamped with stuff, in fact it amazes me you find the time and energy to talk with us. I can barely imagine what’s involved in rehabilitation from such major surgery, my only experience being mine from lesser things, and my dad’s from open heart surgery. But eagerly awaiting the day you’re home and back to sharing your tales of Chom and photos of your village as it grows.
