My dear, dear friend who had a kidney transplant last Thursday, went home yesterday! The new kidney has started "waking up" and is filtering the toxins out of his body. He only had to undergo one cycle of dialysis right after surgery. I am so relieved that he is now in the comforts of his own home with family taking care of him and friends wishing him well and praying for him. He still needs to be kept isolated from a lot of people because he is very vulnerable to catching a cold or illness which could be deathly to him at this point. I just wanted to share the great news!
My daughter's friend who was in the car accident that killed his stepmom is still in critical but stable condition. He is being kept in a chemically induced coma right now but has moved his arms and limbs which probably means there is no paralysis. We will all continue to pray for him and his family.
My other daughter's teacher whose brother died in a motorcycle accident this past Sunday was back at school on Wednesday and seemed to be holding up well. He said he was glad to be back at school and that "school is good." We gave him a hug and actually shared some laughter and smiles together about a joke with another teacher.
So may souls to worry about. I'm glad things are looking up. Take care.
