Tears of Joy

We've got urine, lots of lovely urine!! Samuel has a working kidney! Creatinine is already dropping... 6.2 yesterday, 4.5 after only one hour in its new home.

Samuel is a bit uncomfortable (to be expected) and not really awake yet. He moans every now and then. Everything is proceeding normally, without complication.

Hannah is drifting in and out of sleep, waking up to join in a conversation for a moment and then falling back asleep.

What a weight has been lifted. I feel like I can breath again! The tears are flowing freely.

"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,

that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen."

~ Ephesians 3:14-21
