Friday am

Karen's kidney is still doing great and she is slowly getting rid of lines, etc. Bleeding has slowed quite a bit so that is good news. Once bleeding stops they will start her on blood thinners to prevent clotting which was the problem with the last transplant. The doctors have to walk a fine line between the bleeding and the clotting because of past issues with both.

Our donor is doing much better and has been discharged from the hospital! She will stay with us in the rowhouse until her follow-up appointment next week.

Heather and our donors husband flew home yesterday and our donor's daughter flew in yesterday to help her mom. More family on both sides will be coming and going during our stay.

We are praising God for all the successes!
