Just One Day After the Transplant....

and Katie is cruisin'!! Amazingly, her stay in the ICU lasted less than 24 hours! She is now settled happily in Baird 686, at the other end of the hall from Kelly. The new kidney is working beautifully and making lots of great urine. Her creatinine is lower with every blood test. Katie has been up walking twice today and had a full meal at dinner. Wow, when a transplant works, it REALLY works! Please rejoice with us! I was able to say it when things were tough with Samuel and now I can say it when Katie is having such a speedy recovery....God is good!!

Many thanks to all of you who emailed Kelly today! I understand she got quite a pile. You guys are great! Thanks for giving Kelly a glimpse of the special family and friends that we have! Please continue to pray for Kelly's recovery. She is having a hard time.

So glad to hear the good report from Brett last night--and also that Samuel is feeling better--we continue to pray and thank God for these recent blessings.
Love, the Danises

Praise God for such a successful transplant! Tell Katie and Kelly we are praying for a speedy recovery for both of them.
