First things first...Ben, myself, and the KIDNEY(who still remains nameless:) are all doing well.
Initially, the Kidney( what should we call her?) was a bit home sick and wasn't fully adjusting to her new home. After a week or so of clever trickery by the amazing Dr. Shapiro, she decided to except her new fate and started behaving like a good little kidney should.
Its been a full three weeks and each day we are feeling stronger and as Ben just put it "GOOD"!
Thanks to modern science and technology, we are up and around (still at home) and feeling almost back to normal minus a bit of soreness. For those wondering, the scars are not too bad either. Considering what was being cut, moved, shoved, clamped,removed and implanted, we look quite normal. Although whenever we overdo it our bodies reminds us that we are not
quite back to normal as yet...so we are still taking it easy.
Thank you to our family and friends for being there/here to support us over the past three weeks. Thank you to all for your prayers, thoughts, emails, cards, gifts, and visits. We are so blessed to have you in our lives. Words cannot express our gratitude and awe for the support we've recieved.
We will try to keep you all updated with our progress and also the progress of the kidney...which I think we should call Chelbe..pronounced Shelby....short for Michelle and Ben.
What do you think?
