Second Chance After Second Lung Transplant | New Orleans News
Description
Against all odds, Scott Suhre, who survived cystic fibrosis and a life-saving lung transplant in 1995, faced a terrifying second battle after contracting COVID-19 in 2021. Struggling to walk without oxygen, he was placed on the national transplant list in June, facing a grim waiting game. His wife Kristy watched helplessly as his vibrant spirit faded. But in a stunning twist, Scott received a donor match within 48 hours — a second miracle. After an eight-hour surgery on June 15th, he walked freely just three weeks later. Discharged before the Fourth of July, Scott is now on the path to full recovery, eagerly anticipating his return home to his wife and son Caleb — a father finally getting his second chance at life.
