I spoke on the phone with Donnia earlier today and she sounded great! She was very upbeat and it sounds like everything is working perfectly (except I think she said she hadn't slept since the surgery!) Her donor already went home - a 2 1/2 hour drive - and with NO narcotics! Wow! I hope you both have a speedy recovery!  |

It is fast. Her donor had planned to stay a couple days in a hotel, but decided she and her family would be more comfortable at home. Jenna's donor was 2 days in the hospital. |

Keep us posted on the creatinine level. Drink lots of fluids and then the kidney should wake up get the creatinine down to the 0.8 to 1.3 range.

This is so great! I'm glad you're doing so well -- and your donor too. I guess your new kidney will be tough like your donor!
