Transplant Complete!!!!!

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

Mindy and Katie are both out of surgery!!!!!
We just saw Mindy in the recovery room and she is doing good. I won't be able to see Katie for 2 more hours because they have to monitor her in the recovery room. The surgeon talked to us and said that everything went great. The kidney started functioning right away. I can't wait to see her. Thank you God for all that you have brought both Mindy and Katie through today. I will post later after I get to see Katie.

Congrats. I watched my soon-to-be ex husband donate a kidney to his cousin just 4 days after we married. It was a miraculous life changing event. I am so happy for you.
