Hi everyone, at last I have some better news.   :2thumbsup; The donor sister has now had her wound stitched (17 days after the initial operation) and is hoping to come home soon.  Recipient sister has been allowed home for a day and is now back in hospital making progress.  It will be a long road for both of them but hopefully they are on the road to recovery now.  Thank you all for your support and good wishes you are fantastic people.  :grouphug;

It's so nice to hear some better news Rose.  The sisters are still in my thoughts and hopefully they'll both be home sooner rather than later.

Thanks Karol, both are home now and the recipient sister is up and about and feeling much better, unfortunately her sister is still in pain and not feeling good...she has been told this is to be expected but it is over a month now and she had hoped to be rid of the pain.  She sees the consultant in about 10 days so hopefully she will be a lot better.  Knowing it has been successful for her sister (at last) has made it worthwhile and helped lift her spirits somewhat.  She still seems to have a hill toclimb, but she will make it.  Thank you for asking, I will tell them. xx
