Surgery Update

Surgery is going as planned.  The transplant coordinator was just out letting us know that they have finished removing both of Elizabeth's kidneys.  Kristi's kidney has also been removed and looks good. 

Kristi will be done in about an hour and moved to recovery.  It will be another 4+ hours for Elizabeth.

Thanks for praying . . . . God is good.

Transplant Surgery Tomorrow

My brother, Ron, posted this status and photo on Facebook yesterday, 

"Last day of dialysis for my daughter Liz, hopefully forever. Back to the hospital tomorrow morning to prepare for her kidney transplant on Friday. Thanks for all your prayers here-to-fore. Would appreciate continued prayers for the operation, upcoming 8-10 day hospital stay and for her donor, Liz's Aunt Kristi, my younger sister. Forever grateful."  

Please remember to pray for both of them tomorrow.  We will be spending the day in the surgery waiting room of Children's Mercy Hospital.  Ron says it will be a 6-7 hour surgery, so it will be a long day.
