Hi everyone!
Katie and Micah are both out of surgery, and everything went smoothly! My sister is in quite a bit of pain and is on a continuous morphine drip to help control that. Her kidney was a little bigger than they doctors expected, so they ended up taking out one of Micah's kidneys to make room. He started putting out lots of urine right away, which is an indication that the kidney is working!!! Yeah!! He is still on a ventilator in the ICU, but they hope to wean him off in the morning. They had to manipulate his intestines quite a bit to get the kidney to fit, so one of their worries is that he might develop an ileus (where the intestines stop working and can get obstructed).
It has been a long day, so it sounds like everyone (grandmothers included) are pretty exhausted. Please pray that they can all get some rest, that Katie's pain improves, and that Micah is able to move out of the ICU soon!
Thank you all for your concern!! We're just so excited for Micah to feel better and so relieved that things are going smoothly so far! Praise God!!
