Okay, It's update time. She got to U of M transplant center at about 12:45 this morning. The did tests on her until about 5:30, everything went great there. It is now 9:40 and she has been in surgery for a few hours. They said this type of dual transplant can take up to 14 hours. I'll update when I know more. Thank you all for your support.

HERE'S THE NEWS!!!! The docs at U of M kicked in the afterburners on this one. She is out of surgery and in recovery. EVERYTHING WENT PERFECT!!!! The docs said all the weight she's lost the past few months made all the difference. As far as they can tell both organs are working. She'll be in recovery another 4-5 hours and then in ICU. I'll post more as I here.

Boy I miss a lot when I sleep to much! Great News there!  JB surgery started the same time mine did, next thing I knew it was night time. Hopefully she felt a difference when she woke up. Forgot if JB was wearing a pump or not, but they took mine off way before surgery and let my blood sugar rise. It was in the 500 range before I was knocked out and felt that high blood sugar. After waking up though I felt it was much better along with the body feeling clean and that's what I hope JB felt.  |

I think we are all breathing again. I know I wasn't the only one holding my breath the whole time! This has been a thrilling experience for all of us to share in. Give her some gentle hugs from her second family. Thank you for sharing the progress with us |
