Lung Transplant Process

The May ILD Support Group meeting next Tuesday will feature a presentation on lung transplants by a coordinator from the university's Lung Transplant Clinic. During my big downturn last May, Michael and I met with her and saw the presentation. It was so informative and helpful that we walked away feeling confident about the process. Because I already have all the information, I am not going to the meeting.

If you missed it, the following blogs are from her Power Point presentation. They can be read here:
