Months ago when Austin was listed for a heart transplant, Dr. Thrush said he would deliver the news a heart was available dressed as Chewbacca. On Saturday, Chewbacca stopped by Austin’s room. Fifteen-year-old Austin Eggleston, a die-hard “Star Wars” fan, was placed on a heart transplant list four months ago and transferred to Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago as he awaited a donor. “We got a heart?” Austin asked as Chewbacca entered his room. Austin’s family has been keeping friends posted on his health status over Facebook since he received his heart transplant Saturday.
