This blog, is about my parents, who are undergoing surgery to make my mom better. My mom has PKD aka. polycystic kidney disease. So they found a kidney donor, and both of my parents are going to have surgery. My dad is donating his kidney for the match's wife while my mom is getting the match's kidney.

Hey Release!
Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well. Mom is getting released today, but she still has to have a catheter. Sadly I leave Saturday. And I won't get to see mom for a month or maybe even longer since we have to get the house ready. I am kind of stressed about not seeing her, since I am really close to my mom. I am also really tired mainly because I did not get a lot of sleep last night and I haven't had time to sleep. I have fallen asleep for about one minute only to be woken up 2 seconds later. I guess it's because I am thinking about all the things I have to do. Well I guess I will see you all when I get home. Bye!

Hi,
everyone! Sorry I cant seem to figure out a title but, here is a update about BOTH of my parents. Everything is good. Mom is getting out of the hospital tomorrow hopefully, but the doctors are making her keep the catheter in for a while probably another week. But sadly, I won't get to help out with her or see her for a month unless someone volunteers to bring me up, because I will be leaving on Saturday. Also we met the person who received my dads kidney and the person who donated their kidney to my mom earlier today. And we talked about the rules and have gone through the classes about what to do after the kidney transplant. So now dad and I are going to be going into major CLEANING yuck! But we have to, so mom won't get an infection or worse. Dad has been threatening to get rid of the cats if they can't stop jumping on everything. So since we are also in remodeling stage we are contacting friends to see if they can help us get the house ready in the next month. Thanks for your prayers!

After Surgery
Hey!
Everything is doing awesome. Mom and dad are both in private rooms resting. Mom's surgery went well and my dad's also went well. Dad and mom have both been in pain but their pain has gone done to 0, which according to their nurses that's great. Mom's body is not rejecting the kidney. Her function is good, her color is good, and she looks and feels great. But everything is good anyway. I am being driven insane by my aunt though, to me it seems like she thinks I cannot do anything right. So I thought I would let all of you know that everything is great. Talk to you soon.
