Much to Samuel's dismay, we had to leave him and Tom behind in the hospital. The "problem" is that he is feeling too well and doesn't think he needs to be in the hospital. The lab results confirm his progress. His creatinine this morning was........wait for it........1.1! That puts him in the normal range for people with two kidneys!
Samuel has had enough of the foley catheter. It is really bothering him and he wants it out - now! He is scheming of ways to bust out of the hospital. His nurse assured him today that the doctors will not let him leave before day #5.
We'll be doing our best to keep Samuel distracted for the next couple days. Grandpa Ed is doing his part by teaching Samuel how to play poker!

Just wonderful news from Texas. Thanks for updating the blog, Nancy. I laughed at the thought of Samuel learning to play poker - the family had better hide their savings!
Congratulations, Hannah!!! You have done great work.
Have a nice day!

Sleep well Hannah!! May our dear Lord help Samuel to be patient a little longer. Praise God for this marvelous kidney and the gracious donor.

I'm in awe...I've been wanting to check your blog for some time now and this evening I finally took the opportunity to see how you all were doing. To my surprise I saw that Samuel and Hannah had both had surgery. To read your wonderful story, orchestrated by an Awesome God, was touching. What a miracle when we think of the odds Samuel had against him. We are so happy for you. May God continue to bless you and strengthen you for His glory and praise. You will be remembered by many for the years you've been steadfast and trusting in a God who is sovereign and perfect. What a trial...what a story. God bless you all. Mitch and Gina
Happy Birthday Nancy!
