That's it! The kidney is in and working! I just spoke to the Doc. He said everything went great. The kidney is on her left side, he only had to make the one incision (he decided to go straight to the left side). He said as soon as he hooked up the ureter to the bladder (I think that's how it gets hooked up, but a lot of info came at me pretty quick), it started making urine. It's working!
I can't wait to tell you all about Karen's surgeon. For now, all you need to know is his name is Dr. Veale, and he is an angel. More to follow on him in the next couple days.
God has provided, as we knew he would. Karen and I deeply appreciate all the prayers.
I hope to see Karen in a couple of hours. She should be walking tomorrow! I will update with room number, expected recovery timeline, etc early tomorrow.
Sleep well.
Love you all!
