New Haven Register
NEW HAVEN — Heart transplant recipient Colby Salerno of Cheshire continued his slow march back from a five-month health precipice Thursday, with his mother, Kelly, reporting that he’s still in pain from the three chest tubes, but had a peaceful night Wednesday into Thursday.
“He is resting a lot today again but that is the best thing for him,” Kelly Salerno said on the Facebook page Have a Heart for Colby. “Thank you again for all of your support and I will continue to say that because it is beautiful and overwhelming.”
As he recovered in his Hartford Hospital bed from the early-Tuesday surgery, a man in Tennessee used the statewide interest in Salerno’s transplant to call for people to sign up for LifeSharers, a group that says “if you don’t agree to donate your organs when you die, then you go to the back of the waiting list if you ever need an organ to live.”
In other words, organs would go to signed-up donors first.
