Charles hasn't called or emailed.   I know he has to work their security business tonight.  I did tell Kelly that if I hadn't heard anything by Thursday, I would call cell phones.  It is just really hard to wait. I know her husband had to keep working full time during all of this, so he wouldn't be at the hospital all the time.  Wish I was there!!    She told me she had a camera ready and they were getting permission to photograph the transplant.    I will let you know when I hear something.   :waiting;  :stressed;

 :yahoo;  :clap;  :bandance;  Just got an email from Charles and he says both Kelly and Irene are doing fine!!  He said they both feel like they have been hit by a Mack truck!  He is taking the laptop to Kelly tomorrow because she is anxious to post and tell us all about it.  I am so relieved!  Now I can sleep tonight.  He has a picture of her going into ICU but doesn't have permission (from Kelly) to post it yet.   He says he has orders to make sure the dishes are done!   His email was very upbeat.   He is giving Kelly all our love.    Thank God for living donors!!    We love you Kelly and Irene!  :clap;   :2thumbsup;   :yahoo;

Charles sent me another email confirming both Kelly and Irene are doing good.  Said both had problems with morphine---Irene got mean and Kelly threw up.   Just was in the chat room with Kelly and she said she has been walking around.  I told her she sounded so perky!    A visitor came, so we had to cut our chat short.  It just felt good to beable to "talk" to her.  Love you Kelly!  Keep doing well!!   :cheer:   :cheer:
