New Germany Native Released From Toronto Hospital


A New Germany native has been released from Toronto hospital following double-lung transplant surgery. Thirty-three year old Jessica Carver has Cystic Fibrosis and returned to her apartment after going under the knife December 13. She spent the last three weeks recovering at the hospital with family and friends before she was given the green light by her doctor Monday to go home. Carver says she's relieved to be out of the hospital.



Carver has to take medication and visit the hospital 3-4 times a week for physiotherapy, but says she's happy she can go home at the end of each day. She says there's a lot she is still unable to do like lift anything over 10 pounds or walk her dog. She hopes to make a return to the South Shore by March.
