I'm thinking of you, too, kidney4traci.  You're a lucky chick!  I'll say a prayer for you, too.

I've been thinking about you all day, Traci!  Sweet dreams!

I can't wait to hear all about it!   :cuddle;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Ryan, sweet dreams to you, too!  You'll be up and at'em in no time!!   However, enjoy the down time!  That's really the only advice I can give you.  My donor got "up and at'em" a little to early and she regretted it.  Enjoy being waited on and gushed over!     :cuddle;   You're a beatiful person!

Traci--I am so thrilled for you! I wish you all the luck in the world and a giant hug!  :cuddle;

Ryan--You are absolutely wonderful for the gift you are about to give. You are the definition of a hero! I want to wish you luck and give you a big hug as well.  :cuddle;

And petey, your letter to Ryan made me cry! And that rarely happens anymore now that my doctor has increased my anti-depressants.  ;D What a wonderful letter! I don't think I've ever read anything as inspirational as that. You are beautiful person for taking the time to write it.

Make sure you write "Donor" and "Recipient" on yourselves so they don't screw things up in the Operating Room!!!

Best of Luck!!

I posted a link to send Traci an e-card.  She's still too out of it to talk on the phone, but I was told she's doing great!    :clap;

Choose  The Methodist Hospital.    Her last name is Mahan.   I think her real name might be Patricia Mahan.   That's what they have her listed as, but the nurse told me she calls her Traci. ???  Her room is Dunn #408.

It's so exciting to hear that Traci is doing great.  I can't wait to hear some details.  Gosh, isn't it just the most amazing way to change a life?  Thank you Ryan!

And Kelly, thanks for posting the info.  I sent a note a few minutes ago.
