Surgery Thursday
Dan has been having a tough time lately. He’s been having high fevers and his incision site hurts and the bottom line is that the transplanted kidney needs to come out because it might be causing some of these infection problems.
This is a milestone we did not want to reach, but if removing the kidney makes Dan feel better then we are in favor of it. So the surgery is scheduled for Thursday morning.
There are other good things than can come of this….Dan can quit taking the anti-rejection drugs which suppress his immune system and he can heal up before I return to school. Also, they will not transplant a person who has an infection. So we are ready for the kidney to be removed.
We go to Omaha tomorrow for the pre-op stuff and the surgery is first thing Thursday morning. I will take our laptop with us and update the site after the surgery.
Thank you for all your good thoughts…they mean a great deal to us.
