Grandma Celebrates Double-Lung Transplant by Dancing With Her Doctors
Debra Morgan, 60, danced to Silento's "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)."
— -- A Florida grandmother celebrated leaving the hospital after receiving a double-lung transplant by dancing with her doctors and nurses.
Debra Morgan, 60, had pulmonary fibrosis and could barely breath for nearly a decade, said Dr. Duane Davis, the lung transplant surgical director at Florida Hospital in Orlando. Morgan underwent a bi-lateral lung transplant in January and was released from the hospital Friday.
"It's a wonderful day," she said.
Her lung disease kept her from her favorite pastime -- dancing. So to test out her new lungs, Morgan got on the dance floor, dancing to Silento's "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" with her medical team.
"I haven't been able to dance for a long time because I haven't been able to breath," Morgan said in a video posted to the hospital's YouTube page. "I've always loved to dance."
Morgan said she did the "Nae Nae" to "prove I can do it again with my new lungs."
When the song ended, Morgan, who began crying, hugged her caretakers for giving her a second chance to get on the dance floor.
