Update: Kelly is a little "light headed" and trying to eat more solid food. Nothing seems to taste good to her yet. Her DH is fixing her some baked chicken and boiled potatoes for supper, maybe she'll be able to eat. & ...Patty is heading home today!!! She is amazing and so strong. They started the 5 hr trip earlier this afternoon. Her gut stopped working yesterday but took off and started working this morning. She's eating and has energy and her Creatinine level in her blood was over 12 before the transplant and it was at 1 yesterday. Normal for an adult woman is 0.5 to 1. Her "Kelly Kidney" (that's what she calls it) is working great. Peace to all... |
I am keeping both girls in my prayers to continue to do well! What a special story this is! |
Kel had a rough night and her DH called the U of M Med Center Nurse this morning. The pain meds made her sick again so she's only taking Extra Strength Tylenol. She was dehydrated, needs to eat more protien and her blood sugar was low. We took some juice to her, got her to eat some chicken breast and I tested her blood and she was better. We also checked her bp and it was fine. She perked up this afternoon when the kids came home from the other grandma's. Patty is making the 5 hr trip back to U of M on Tuesday for her checkup. Kel goes next Tuesday. |
I'm praying for both of them, may they heal...recover and thrive!!! |
Checking on the girls, praying Kelly starts feeling better soon! Continued prayers for both of the girls. |
Oh my goodness I missed this as well. What an AMAZING daughter you have. I am gald that all went well for both girls. Prayers going out for the recovery of both Kelly and Patty. |
continued prayers for healing!! |
Praying for them both! |
Praying for both Kelly and Patty. Your daughter is a very special person. |
Thinking of the girls and continuing to keep them in my prayers. |
Patty went to U of M for her 1 wk checkup and the kidney is working at 100% !!! She has still had some nausea and is on 2 meds for that. She goes for her 2 wk appt on Tuesday....I'll take Kelly for her follow-up appt on Tuesday also, so the girls will be together for the day. They text and send recovery pictures back & forth every day. Kelly is feeling much better. She is starting feel hungry and ask for certain foods. We're fixing anything she asks for at this point. Thank you all for your kind words & support. Peace to all. |
This is excellent news! Thank you for the update. The love these two girls share brings tears of joy to my eyes. You must be so proud of daughter and Patty. Will continue to keep them in my prayers. |
I am thrilled to hear that things are progressing in a positive way for them both. I just think this is an awesome story!!! |

So happy to hear things are progressing well with both girls. Special hugs to Kelly for her precious, life-giving heart. Such a wonderful love story going on here and speaks to the power of enduring and faithful friendship and what one friend will do for another. |
Kelly & Patty are doing better this weekend. Pat walked to the mailbox yesterday & Kel was able to walk a half block and back this morning & she enjoyed cabbage roll soup her DH made for her yesterday. Words cannot express my gratitude and thanks for all of the kind words, prayers and best wishes you have sent for my girls. I am surprised how emotional a journey this has been for me, on so many levels. The emotions have been difficult to handle at some points, especially in the hours of surgery and the following days. I was able to access YT on my phone and iPad & drew comfort from your comments for them. You are an amazing group & I want you all to know that through you I drew my strength. Peace to all. |
That is such great news for both girls:D |
So glad things are going better. Answered prayers.... |
Such wonderful news to know that Kelly and Patty are well on their way to recovery! :) Now it's time for you to take a breath and rest also. ;) Bless you and your family. |
I am so glad to hear they are both recovering well. Sending good thoughts to them both that the rest of their lives will be smooth sailing |
