The surgery was successful and only took about 2 hours. While operating they discovered that part of her bowels which had to be moved around for the transplant had become twisted, very irritated and possibly blocked. This would have happened over the last week and would explain the nausea and pain Karen has been experiencing. This was fixed as well as the bleeding. Dr. Montgomery indicated that had they done a drain, they would still have had to operate to fix the bowel issue which could have also caused other issues so the surgery today was the right choice.
While operating they were able to take a good look at the new kidney and do a biopsy of the kidney that would not have been possible otherwise because of the location behind her first transplanted kidney. The new kidney looks good and we will get biopsy results tomorrow.
Praise God and thank you all for your prayers!
