Mom went with me to Wichita on the 10th and Dr. Mandham(new kidney dr.) cleared me for surgery. The first surgery will be on Tuesday Feb. 24th. During that surgery I will have both of my kidneys removed. The actual surgery will be on March 17th. Well, anyway that is the plan as of today.
Deanna's husband John will be working in Kansas City this week so he will just stay and pick Deanna up at the airport on Sunday when she flies in. Her boys are real troopers and will be stayting with three different friends until John gets home on Wednesday night. I know they will be happy to see him. Deanna plans to stay until April 2nd. I know the boys will miss her greatly. Mom my kids and I will arrive on Monday afternoon. My kids have their 6 month dental check ups that morning so we will leave after that appointment. We should be in Wichita around 4pm or so. We will all be staying at our two bedroom apartment. Yes, if you have keep count that will be 6 of us and two beds. Should be interesting. :)
I am the first surgery for the day so it should start sometime around 9:30am or so. The surgery is pretty involved. During this surgery they will also be installing the line in my vein so I will be able to do dialysis until the transplant. I was told the surgery could last up to 5 hours. Since I will otherwise be occuppied I will turn the blogging over to my mom and Deanna for the next few days.
A couple of days after the surgery is over and I am doing better mom will be bringing my kids home with her so they can go back to school(I think three days is enough to miss). Dylan and Allie seem to be quite busy this time of year. Having mom at home with them is a huge relief for me. That way their live's will remain as normal as possible.
I just want to say thanks to everyone for all your continued prays and support for my entire family.
Well my laundry is not doing itself so I better log off and get busy. I will blog with you later. Take care.
