Hugs and prayers to you and mom and Step-dad.

If they do have to remove his kidney, maybe they can do laporoscopy...that means very small incisions, and maybe just one, and he will heal a lot faster.

I am sure they will do their best to make sure he is healthy enough for surgery.

And, like Karen said, many people do very well with one kidney.

Your brother and you are there for your mom....that is so wonderful.

HUGS again, and prayers that all works out for the best.
