Five-year old Nicole has been staying at our house under Hannah's and Lydia's supervision since Sunday evening to allow Katherine to rest and recuperate at the hotel. On her way home this evening, Hannah picked up Katherine and we all had dinner together. When we realized how many one-kidneyed people we had at the dinner table, we decided we needed to take a picture.
Front row: Esther, Katherine, and Samuel
Back row: Katie and Tom
One very important person is missing from this photo and that is Kelly. She became a member of the one kidney club after donating to Katie in April 2008. We love you, Kelly, and are reminded afresh of your generosity!
The healing process is a little slower than Katherine expected and she needs some help getting herself and Nicole back to California. So today we made arrangements for Hannah to fly back with Katherine and Nicole. Hannah will stay for a few days to help out before flying back home. Hannah is busily packing her bag tonight and is excited about the trip. She and Nicole have spent a lot of time together over the last two weeks and have become quite fond of each other. They all fly out tomorrow in the early afternoon.
I don't expect to be posting as often now that the intensity has subsided, but I sure would be grateful for your prayers as the grind continues. For example, Samuel leaves the house at 6:15 for dialysis tomorrow morning (and every MWF) and Esther has to go back to the hospital to have labs drawn by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow (and will continue to have labs and clinic visits once or twice a week for a season).
Please continue to pray for a kidney for Samuel!

God is good. How wonderful to see you all home together. We will continue to pray for a full recovery for Esther and Nicole and safe travelling mercies. May the Lord also provide a kidney for Samuel.
