I am very happy to report that Katie’s surgery yesterday went very well! Hallelujah!! Today is a little harder as she is experiencing some possible side effects from the pain medication (itchiness, blurred vision). Lord willing, she had her last dialysis session this morning. Yipeee! This afternoon she was able to get out of bed and walk a big loop around the unit. It was a bit of an exertion, but hopefully she’ll be up for another walk this evening. After that, the prayer is for a good night’s sleep!
Grandpa Ed is going to sit with Katie tonight while the rest of us gather at the hotel with Kelly and her family for some pizza. We are excited about meeting Kelly’s 13-year old daughter, Amberle. Poor Kelly’s last meal was at lunchtime, so she’ll only be able to drink while the rest of us eat.
The big day tomorrow starts early for Kelly. She has to check in to pre-op at 6 a.m. She will be the first one into the operating room between 7:30 and 8:30. It will probably be a couple hours later before the surgical team is ready for Katie.
We would be grateful for your prayers for a safe, uncomplicated surgery for both of these precious young women.

Hi Mom, Many prayers for Katie, Kelly, and both families. Will be watching this blog for updates as I doubt Katie will feel much like emailing for a while. Tell her Percy says 'nosewiggle'!
