Update on the surgery

14. December 2007 by Nate.

From an email from Barb (Carol’s sister). Sent earlier this evening.

Hello all,
Sorry to be so late in contacting you, but it has been a very long day. It started much later than we expected, with Jaime the donor starting her surgery at 9am and Carol not starting hers until almost 11am. It was successful for both of them. Jaime was finished about 230pm and Carol at 5pm. The kidney is in and functioning-already producing urine. Both Carol and Jaime are doing well. Jaime is back in her regular hospital room tonight. Carol is in the ICU unit for the night and if she continues to do as well as she is now, will be back in her regular room sometime tomorrow. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I feel like Carol was surrounded by a halo of love all through this process. I will try to send another update either tomorrow or Saturday as there is news to report. Thank you again.

Thanks for reading [and praying].
