Lol thanks you guys. He just got his ventilator tubes out and they removed some other tubes going into his abdomen and other parts. I haven't got to see him yet (had to get my son food so my sister and mother went in). But heard he is doing well on his own power....

So looks like the ultimate engine swap is going well!!!!

Boy you said it with "the ultimate engine swap"!!!

absolutly amazing what can be done these daze, congrats on all ends and hopefully the recovery is easy....

Yeah. It's crazy what they can accomplish! And sorry for the extra smog in Livermore... Been driving thru twice a week! Lol

It blows right over the top lol, but if you could hold a can of allergy repellant spray out your window when you drive through? lol

Hows he doin?

He's doing very well again today. Was up sitting in the chair for a couple hours. Resting now.

Hopefully the allergies blow off the car on the altamont. Lol

Great News Albert. I'll keep you all in my prayers.

Post Transplant Day 3:

All is continuing to go well! No blood transfusions, no complications. Doctors are very impressed with his results thus far. Kidneys are doing well also. Said continued on this path he should be out of ICU and down to "step down ICU" around the weekend. Starting physical therapy today. Likely attempt to have him take a few steps.

A few important things:
1. For those of you interested in sending get well cards you Can send them to this address: 555 west Middlefield Rd, apartment N301. Mountain view, CA 94043.
2. For those interested in donating blood, a blood drive will be held on May 20th from 3pm to 7pm at Denair high school gym.

Please say a prayer for his continued recovery. It's a long road ahead. One of his goals is to make it to Hot August Nights this year! Also say a prayer to the family who lost their young loved one. We will be forever grateful for this family giving us this opportunity.

With love,
Albert Jr, and the rest of the Dutra family.

Great to hear Albert. I am glad that your dad is doing well.
Prayer is a powerful thing.

Glad to hear your Dad is doing well...The miracle of modern Medicine at work. Along with tons of prayers...
