Every bilateral lung transplant patient is a handful. Between meds to watch, dressings to changes, vitals to monitor, and family to inform, transplant patients in general are fairly high maintenance. For some reason, though, Jill is convinced that her husband is expecting (and getting) a little more attention than most. But really, does it surprise any of you that Coach Todd is demanding the best from everyone around him, even while sleeping? Like any good coach, Trent is pushing his players/teammates/medical staff to perform at their highest at all times, even from the ICU.
From Jill, and from all of us, thank you to the staff of Cleveland Clinic for taking such good care of Coach Todd. Thank you especially to Dawn, who has worked tirelessly for the past two days (and endured the neverending questions of Jill's WellSpring "bodyguards") to spoil Trent in the middle of such a difficult time; and to Dr. Pettersson and his team for finding lungs and getting them to our friend as soon as possible. We all so appreciate the love you are showing for our coach, and you have our permission, when Trent has recovered, to tell him to "drop and give you twenty." With the new lungs you gave him, he may just be able to pull it off.
Trent is resting; Jill is resting; you should be resting. Get off of your computers, say one final prayer, and go to bed! More in the morning...
