Ben Askren, a former UFC welterweight champion, is now on the waiting list for a lung transplant after a severe case of pneumonia led to hospitalization. His wife, Amy, provided updates on social media, expressing gratitude for supportive friends and the community while highlighting Ben's slow recovery and challenges with communication. Despite the seriousness of his condition, she noted positive signs such as Ben's periods of awareness and his requests for coffee, indicating his mental health remains strong.
As of late last night, Ben is officially on the transplant list. Please pray he can get stronger and stay stable without complications while he waits.
I am hoping he can get there in the next week or two! Also hoping we will get to a place soon where he can talk while on a trach.
