Well, they took brother in at 6am yesterday to remove his left kidney. Ran into a little trouble w/ him bleeding a bit but got it under control. After they got it out they had to drain his fluids from it and cool it down to core temp before transplanting it into Sis. They finished up with both of them around 1:30 and they are both doing great.
And the kidney is working for sis..... :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yoyo: :highclap: :biggrin:
Last night when I left, Sis was pretty alert but dear ol bro was still under the work of the meds he had in his system. So he was sleeping most of the time. He did say he would be out by Friday as he was going to hit on every nurse that came in his room. I saw the nurse that is taking care of him.....I don't see him hitting on her too much. :innocentwhistle:
Thanks for all the prayers.
Glad to hear everyone is doing well
Now what about you and the infection you have
That is good news.
Jerry
Excellent!! :congrats: :congrats: :highclap:
My eye is still hurting, but the spot in the cornea of my eye is getting smaller. My ear, which I thought was better, is still stopped up. Like I told my daughter yesterday, I'm blind in one eye & can't see out of the other. (Took her several minutes to get that :roflmao:)
Hopefully Monday they will tell me that there is no surgery and I can put my contacts back in. I hate wearing these stupid specs.
Thats greaat news!!!
By the way, those meds could make even the homeliest nurse look like carmen elektra. Your bro should have fun with that.
SWEEEETTTT glad to here things went well :yoyo:
Great news. Glad to hear everything is going well. :highclap: :highclap:

Bob
thats great
They were both up and walking last night according to Cam. He went down with my mom while I was at work yesterday. Talked to my brother in law and he said they are doing great. Tim is already hitting on the select few nurses so we know he's feeling better and Susan is asking when she can have a Mountain Dew.
Now what's going to be fun is watching them both quit smoking. I'll sit back in the corner drinking my cold coors light laughing my butt off at that. Tis going to be a painful site....LOL
Sis & Bro came home yesterday afternoon. Sis is doing great w/ the new kidney. Everything is working and she is recovering from the surgery well. Bro on the other hand is having it ruff. They hurt his rotater cup when moving him from the cutting table and then he had a IV come out of the vein and fill his left arm w/ fluid. He didn't tell anyone till yesterday and he is hurting a bit. He says his stomach is fine where they cut him but his arms are about to drive him nuts hurting. I went and picked up his meds yesterday and a few hours after that he seemed to be feeling somewhat better, but man is his left arn swelled up big time. And he has a big knot on his right shoulder.
Good news is he came home single so the homely looking nurse is still out there. Maybe that's why he is hurting too....she either read the stuff here or Tim asked where all the good looking gals where....LOL we'll never know :shrug:
I'm glad to hear Sis & Bro are home now. I hope they get Tim fixed back up soon too. Give them our Best Wishes from Ohio!! :biggrin:
I missed your last post there on the 17th, really glad to hear everything went well Danny. At least with the biggest part of it, too bad about the trouble with his arm. Glad to hear he didn't get hitched to any of the "perty" nurses while under sedation. :laf: All take care, Scott
Danny
Glad to hear the good news about the Family,and you are right,,having to think about Red Fern,early on a Monday Morning would be a Bit Much to take !!! :eyebrownod:
Bob
Danny,
Glad to hear all is well! I wish them both the best!
Brent
Ahhhh! Good news for a change. :biggrin:
Praying everything stays that way. :wink:
Another update: Brother is doing alot better. His arm is to the point where he can move it w/o it hurting and his shoulder is almost 100% as well. We think his shoulder pain was caused from the gas they put in him at the time of surgery. He was out driving around this weekend and even stopped by the ponds to visit everyone and drink a cold beer w/ us. So he's good.
Sis is doing even better. They put her on 9 different pills after the surgery and told her she would prob be on them for 1 to 1-1/2 years. Well she has been back to the doctor for a couple of check-ups and they have already took 6 of the 9 pills off her daily take. And told her if she keeps doing as well as she is in 3-4 more weeks she will be off all the pills. :yahoo:
She is looking like sis again and says she feels like sis again too. Not feeling sick anymore and everything is going great.
I want to thank all of you for the prayers as you can see they worked. :yoyo: :highclap:
Love the good news. :thumb2: :thumb2: :yahoo: :yahoo: That's great to hear!!
It's cool that it's happening so fast too!
Thanks for the update!! It's great to hear such good news!! :biggrin:
Danny
Glad to hear the good news,,your Brother must be better if he is driving now,,when I had my Hip Surgeries, I was in some pain,,but everyone KNEW I was feeling better when I started driving :laf:
And I bet your Sister is happy to be gettin off of all those Pills !!!
Bob
:yoyo: Good deal. Thanks for the update
Thanks for the update Danny!
Glad to hear the family is doing well. How is your eye and ear doing?
Nelson
Eye is as good as it's going to get. I have a scar on it which is nothing more than a white streak. Ear is also better. Was able to put the contacts back in Friday afternoon. And all the pills cleared my system Friday so I was able to go to the local country store and replenish the cooler with barley pop. :biggrin:
Danny, I'm glad to hear you're doing better as well as your family.
Brian.
Glad to hear it Danny :thumb2:
