Karen is now checked into the hospital and surgery is scheduled for 8:30 (now 7am) Thursday morning. She will be put to sleep, but the procedure should only last about 30 minutes. She should go home sometime Thursday afternoon.
The transplant surgeon just came by and said that her lab results from today have her creatinine level even lower than before and now in the "normal range!" Other lab results look good as well.
While overall she is feeling good, she hasn't seen the dramatic improvement in how she feels that others with transplants have described. We think this is because her dialysis was working so well and she was feeling really good and now has the side effects of the medicine and recent major surgery. The doctors say this will improve as time passes.

I am continuing to announce to all that will listen to me in Lexington/West Columbia/Cayce how well you are doing, Karen. And bragging on my technologically adept uncle! We're all continuing to pray for you. I love and miss y'all and maybe can schedule a visit soon!
