Dan's Kidney

The Big Day and A Guest Author

Dan and Sandy underwent their respective recipient and donor kidney operations today at the Nebraska Medical Center. We are happy to report that everything went well. Both surgeons were pleased with the operations. Sandy has recovered remarkably well and is only mildly sore; she is on the 5th floor of Clarkson. Dan is doing well, also. He is in the Intensive Care Unit on the 5th floor of University Hospital, where he will remain until discharge. They expect Sandy to remain in the hospital for 3-4 days, and Dan for 5-6 days. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for the updates and we are all hopeing and praying that the super surgery outcome will continue.
I shotgunned out a note to the Class of 60 so you should start getting some responses and support, I have had a few notes back already.
Please give Dan, Sandy and Saddie our love and know that you all are in our thoughts.
Thanks again,
Jamie

Good news travels fast. I heard from Jamie via email and also a phone call tonight that all went well for both of you. Hopefully, a week from now this will be a distant memory and a great story to tell the grandkids. So Sandy....did they take the right or the left kidney? Where did it go into Dan then? Carry on you two... Will continue to pray for your quick recovery. Lora Rae
