It took about 3.5 hours but the kidney looked good, it is functioning, David is making urine already (I know it sounds gross but this is a HUGE sign that it is working!).
The surgeon sounded really positive!!!
We immediately bowed and Praised God for HIS blessings on David.
I still haven't seen him...he will be in recovery until about 1:30am but then he will come back to the room and recovery will begin!
The only thing we can do is give Glory to God, through the struggles, through the defeat, and through the celebration HE is GOOD, HE is MIGHTY, HE is ABLE!!
More updates and details tomorrow. We are ALL very tired, a bit slap happy, and VERY thankful for a successful transplant.
Now it is time to pray away rejection, infection, and any complications.
We ask for little to no visitors tomorrow (Thursday) because the first 24 hours are critical.
Thank you friends...you are the best support we could ever have!!!
Karen update....she is doing amazing!!!! Feeling good, ready to get out of bed, but still resting!
love,
sleepy alice
