have two, give one...
tis the season for kidney transplants in this family.
the donors where truly a blessing from God!
the first being an act of heroism,
and sadly the second was someone's tragedy turned blessing.
did you know that during a kidney transplant they do not normally remove the recepient's non-functioning kidneys?? rather they just add the donated kidney to the recepient's other two... making for three kidneys within one person... so could the recepient in turn resemble a three-kidney-'bean'-salad??!
(uhm ya... sorry...i'll admit, that was ever so slightly cheesy).
well, i just found out today that my auntie just underwent a kidney transplant that had been a long time waiting for (about 2 years now). and what's more is that this is the second transplant of within my family this year. so she is now the second person in my family to possess three kidneys. the first was my older brother jeff (a 'bean'-counter who received the kidney from our younger brother, dave), and now auntie julie just received a kidney from a kadaver(?).

How is your auntie feeling? I hope she and Jeff are both doing well!!
I'm praying for you!
auntie is doing well. thank you for inquiring. recovery is a lot different with her than with my older bro, mainly because she's older and she also has diabetis(sp). there were some errors made recently with her blood pressure results from our home machine... but those are being rectified and proper action is being taken. all in all, i think things are going quite well... thank the lord.
