Los Osos Teeen Stable After Lung Transplant

LOS OSOS-Los Osos teen Holly Navolt, who was placed on life support early last week, is now in stable condition at the intensive care unit at Stanford University Hospital in a complicated recovery from a double-lung transplant conducted in May.

Navolt has suffered since infancy from cystic fibrosis, which causes thick mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive tract. Her lungs were functioning at 38 percent of normal capacity before she received the lifesaving transplant. (SLO Tribune)
