We've justed spoken with Dr Nikki Blackwell about the posibility of doing the Tracheoscopy on Monday. She's filled us in on the procedure and the benefits in having it.
So why does Ben need it?
To put it short (really short!), he needs to get mobile! The quicker they get lung transplant recipients up and moving around, the better the lungs get use to their new home.
The issue we found out about yesterday (Saturday) about the lungs callopsing is quite a serious problem. The Trachi will help Ben to wake up and excercise, thus helping his body recover from surgery as well as giving his lungs time to "loosen up".
