It's Working!
Back in the RoomAlyssa has arrived back in her room. She actually feels pretty good, certainly better than poor Jen does right now. This is pretty common as the transplant recipient is so used to feeling lousy, that just by adding a kidney and the resulting benefits that come with it will make a huge difference in how they feel. She's still drifting in and out but when awake, she is so excited and very expressive about what has happened today. Thrilled to have the surgery behind and ready for the next step. What she (and mom & dad) need, is a good nights rest. We are all going on 40 hours without any real sleep.
Tomorrow brings a new day filled with hope and optimism.
Let's Rock!

ReplyDeleteI am certain Alyssa never imagined pics likes these on the internet, but I can't imagine anything more spectacular!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the updates and pics throughout the day. Corporate Security will probably be paying me a visit for all the times I went outside protocol to visit a "blog" from work today, but I had to keep up with the amazing progress. :-)
You remain in my prayers, love you all! Donna
