Hi everyone,
Apologies for the radio silence the last 48 hours. Yesterday Ken had a bit of a setback and spent most of the day in the ER. The good news is that it was a false alarm and today he is back to feeling well and recovering at home. It was a lesson on how this road to recovery will have its speed bumps and challenges from time to time. But overall, Ken is doing amazing and we are so blessed the new kidney is working as well as it is after only 5 days. We also have been reminded of how important it is that he is not exposed to many germs in these first few critical weeks of recovery. Our entire family appreciates how all of you have been so respectful of this. And your outpouring of gifts and delicious food items (my favorite of course) have been overwhelming. As always, thank you for your kindness.
Regarding our hero, Alex is doing so well. It has been inspiring to watch him get stronger every day. His follow up appointment went great this morning, so great in fact that both he and Kelly will be flying back to Greenville, SC on Saturday. Amazing, right? Back home within a week! I also wanted to mention that Alex and his selfless act will be spotlighted in the Greenville News on Sunday. We will post the link as soon as it is online.
And lastly, I wanted to share the first post-op picture of both donor and recipient together. What a wonderful and life-changing week this has been!
Onward to the first weekend with a new kidney.
Until the next time...
