Today was T-Day (transplant day)! It is 5:30 p.m. and we are still waiting to see Joan and Addie, but we heard their surgeries went well! Addie's kidney is already working and the surgeon said everything is looking really good!
My aunt Debbie came up last night and has been here supporting us and helping with Jade. It is so nice to have her here! We all arrived at the hospital this morning and were able to see my mom up until she was taken in for surgery. Joan was taken in early this morning and has been in recovery since noon. We have been waiting for her to be assigned a room so we can visit her, but apparently her room is still not ready. In the meantime, Addie was taken into surgery and is also now in recovery. We are assuming they are in the recovery room together, so hopefully they are together even though we cannot be with them.
We have been told that Addie will be taken into her room within the hour, so we are anxious to visit her. This is much earlier than we thought we would be able to see her, but we understand that they probably want to move her into isolation as soon as possible. There will be stricter visiting hours and rules for Addie for awhile, but hopefully we will all be able to visit her today (with the exception of Jade, who may have to wait a little longer to see grandma).
Thank you for all your prayers and messages today! We can feel your love and support! I hope to post another update later this evening, after we have seen Joan and Addie.
