Bunn recovering after double lung transplant

Tallapoosa County’s Ashley Bunn had waited nearly two full years for a double lung transplant due to cystic fibrosis.

Last Thursday, doctors at Duke University Medical Center performed the surgery that family and friends believe will give the 24-year-old woman a second chance at a normal life.
