The Barrhaven woman who underwent double lung transplant surgery last week had her breathing tube removed and has been walking around the intensive care unit of her Toronto hospital.
Hélène Campbell’s website says she was up and walking on Wednesday and again on Thursday.
Her doctor’s removed her breathing tube on Saturday and a happy Campbell was speaking in a whisper.
The website also says she has been having difficulty sleeping due to the noise in the unit and her anti-rejection medications.
Campbell spearheaded an organ donation awareness campaign through social media which attracted the attention of Justin Bieber and Ellen Degeneres.
