****WCGreen Update -- Sunday, September 14, 2014****

From his wife:

A Christopher Green update:

My computer was purged of its viruses and gone for quite a while and I cannot see how to post on my IPOD. When I got my computer back, it installed updates and I can post on Facebook again.

Chris moved to the J building from the G building, because they wanted to put all the lung transplant patients together. What a room! He is in the Miller building that is that swath of glass, right in the front, so his view is of the fountains. He has a huge TV and lots of room. It is in J 5-1. He has begun being on the trac collar and oxygen only 24/7 and for over a week! It is amazing! They told me his diaphragm was not working, so either it began to work or his lungs have taken up the slack.

Last Friday, he had a scare, and wound up in the ICU. He is fine and probably going back 5-1 soon, just not to the same room. They couldn't save it.
He is on the respirator to rest, but also on the trac collar more and more.

yesterday.

Thanks for all the updates, Peggy. Maybe Chris gets tired of hearing how strong he is, but he really is amazing.
