Transplant Complete

We are happy to update that Lawson has received his transplant and his organs are functioning well. Lawson’s family received the call on the evening of June 7 that a donor was in the same hospital and that while it wasn’t a perfect match, the doctor’s felt that it was a good choice for Lawson to receive the organs. The next day, around lunch time, Lawson went into surgery to transplant his stomach, colon, liver, intestines and pancreas. While in surgery, the surgeon also made the decision to remove his spleen. Since the surgery, Lawson’s organs have been functioning well, but he remains in the ventilator.
