Merry Christmas! I just received some wonderful news via Tracy Counts. She is letting us all know the results of Allan Malone's lung transplant that happened on December 23rd.
Allan received two new lungs in a surgery that lasted 6 hours. His surgeon was very pleased as to how well Allan did. Today (25th), they were successful in getting the nerve blocker in and Allan was able to come off the ventilator this afternoon! He is breathing on his own with his NEW LUNGS and was even able to sit up for a bit today! To say that Allan and his family have received one of the BEST Christmas gifts ever...the gift of their Dad and Husband breathing freely again is an understatement!
His wife Angela, wanted to share this wonderful news with the Tennessee coaches and all of our friends in the Region 4 Men's Gymnastics community. This is truly a Christmas miracle! The TNGJA wish you all a very Merry Christmas and we are so grateful to God for Allan’s good report!
