[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 348751, member: 1991"] She has come through the surgery very well. She took a general anaesthetic for the lung biopsy. Apparently she woke up well also. All her stats were back to previous (good) levels two hours after surgery. Anaesthetist checked up on her before he left, said it was a tricky procedure under the circumstances but she did well. It's the best we could have hoped for, for now. They now have the last specimens they're likely to need, to nail the diagnosis down firmly. We've made contact with doctors associated with the top transplant teams in Sydney, so depending on what results come through next week from this biopsy, we're in a position to kickstart J onto the waiting list, if she's a candidate. And if her current specialist says she's not a good candidate, then this contact will be the next opinion. Having come through this surgery so well, is a good sign for her possibly being an OK candidate for transplantation after all. We just have to hope she stays in good enough condition until the chance comes. If it comes. More family are arriving, we're trying to gather information. It's a stressful time for everyone. But it shows we're pulling together as a family. Thanks, team. Marg [/QUOTE]
