A new lung for the 20-year-old
Christian's hair hangs in the face casual. He pushes his water glass on the table back and forth. Now and then he passes the tablecloth smooth. Really want to interview the 20-year-old has not. Actually, he had something else before today. But since all know that he is seeing at night (Tuesday, 06/03/2012, "37 degrees") in a documentary on ZDF, the telephone rings constantly.
Christian likes the fuss about his person, not at all. But he makes the interview. One thing is very important to him: He wants people to have volunteered in Germany that they are organ donors after their death. Christian's surgery is now about half a year ago. In Munich he received in September a new lung - by a woman. Many more do not Christian - and he really does not want to. Direct contacts are prohibited by law. There are good reasons. Of course, the 20-year-old has worked extensively with the question of who died there and why. But he makes one thing clear: This man did not die for him. The donor is dead and she has previously fully conscious, that they donate their organs after death. In this case, their lungs - and Christian is incredibly grateful to her for that.
Two and a half years on the waiting list
Christian lives in the district of Günzburg. His parents are driven every day, around 100 kilometers, to visit him in Munich. Months he lived in the hospital, sealed off from the outside world, often thrown back on himself and his thoughts. Reading and watching TV? Eventually even that was too exhausting. Christian fought with tenacious mucus in the lungs and has been growing weaker. "Cystic Fibrosis" short "CF" is the disease, a form of cystic fibrosis. Two and a half years he was on the "waiting list" for a lung.
The lungs are working well
But Christian does not give up. He thinks further than to the operating room to change everything - when it comes. Three times he was ready for the big operation. Twice had to be canceled. The third time he was finally operated on. After surgery, he is euphoric. The drugs, the excitement, the joy. That will make him worse again. Body and lungs - they have to get used to each other. Today "the lung is working very well," says Christian. She's become a part of it.
Made on the hospital bed-levels at 1.6
On his sick-bed sets from the Christian school. Grade of 1.6. "Yes, all right," he says with a grin afterwards. This year he wants to start studying. Script writing, that would be great. When he gets going once, he likes to tell - and clearly structured. His testimony, he immediately brings to the point.
