All is well!! Tom and I are now sitting in the PACU with Esther. She is drifting in and out of consciousness with an emesis basin under her chin. They are working to keep her comfortable.
Praise the Lord, the surgery went without complication! Esther ending up losing three organs for the price of two. In addition to her kidneys, they decided to also remove Esther's appendix when they found that it was a bit plugged up. Apparently, the chances of having appendicitis are much higher when one has a blocked appendix, so they removed it as a precaution. They tell us it would be a more complicated procedure to remove an appendix with a transplanted kidney in place.
We will hang out here for a couple hours until she is more comfortable and a little more alert. Then it is on to Baird 5 and all the familiar faces up there.
