So, the updates on Pop -
13 has always been Pop's lucky number and yesterday was no lie. He was called in on the 13th day of listing. His surgery began at 7:13 am, and his surgeries lasted 13 hours. What do ya think about that? Crazy, right?
We were finally able to see Pop at 10pm last night in his ICU unit. ICU is absolutely 600% standard after this length and level of an operation. He was heavily sedated, but Mom and I were able to hold his hands and talk to him and hang out with him. His nurse last night was Gary and he was just incredible.
I was nervous to go see him; I had read that post-transplant the patient has lots of tubes and bags and all that on him. When I went in to see him, he looked great - I could not believe it. He had so much fluids pumped into him for the surgery that he actually looked good with some extra weight! Haha. The lighting isn't very flattering in an ICU unit, but from what we could tell his color looked good.
Mom, Grandma, Grandpa and I all went to the hotel last night and Mom finally got some rest. She really needed it.
This morning Pop is getting an ultrasound to make sure that his NEW Liver and NEW Kidney are working the way they should. So far so good.
I will keep you all posted throughout the day.
Merry Christmas to you all!! May this year be as Incredible for all of you as it is going to be for us :)
Love to all,
~Susan, Karen, Jennifer, and of course..... Ray.
