Hallelujah, He's Out!

Samuel was discharged from the hospital this afternoon, only five days after receiving a new kidney! To see him walking around, laughing, eating, and teasing his sister, you would never guess that he just had surgery. It is unbelievable! Hannah is a little envious of Samuel's newfound energy.

Samuel and Amanda, the exchange coordinator, say goodbye as Samuel checks out of the hospital.


Today just happens to be my birthday and I couldn't have asked for a better gift! The more we learn about Samuel's sensitivity level, his chances of finding a match, this exchange, and how it came about that Samuel was included, the more we are in awe of what the Lord has done! What a miracle! What a gift! We are so thankful!
