BIG delays. I talked to my BIL at 430 Ohio time. Jessica was out of surgery and in recovery, about to be taken to a room for the night. She is doing fine and the surgery went well.

Sam was just going to be coming out of surgery, and taken to recovery, where she will stay for several hours, before going to the ICU. She will be in the ICU for 10-14 days. The surgery went well. I didn't know that both of Sam's kidneys stay in her, and my sister's is added to the mix.

Jessica had high hopes of spending the night in the ICU, but with the surgery so delayed, will prolly be in her room re-couperating. Though, knowing my sister...she might be sneaking some place, somehow.

My BIL was going to stay with Sam until late tonight. That is a bit worrisome, as he has been up at 3, and with the stresses of the day, driving home 50 minutes, at dark, in the rain...could be difficult. I hope he stays the night.

I will update as I know more. Thanks for keeping them in your thoughts and prayers!

Just the update I was looking for. So glad things went well. Now they just both need to recover.
I do hope your BIL stays the night there. Jessica and Samantha really need him to remain healthy and well.
That is interesting about adding the kidney in with the others. I guess if the others aren't infected or causing issues, why not? Not like an alcoholics kidney would be.
I will still keep them in my thoughts until both are home again.

Hmmm..."I must not have taken good notes when I spoke to the doctor about my surgery"...straight from my sister's mouth this am, when I phoned for an update. She is still in her own room, hooked up to wires/tubes, etc. She was wheeled up last night to see Sam. Sis is doing okay, just kind of surprised about her recovery process.

She said Sam looked good, Sam's numbers are good, the kidney is already working, and according to the kidney doc, "...likes its new home". All good news.

Thanks for keeping them in your thoughts.

Yeah! Prayers their recoveries continue to go well.
