David was doing so well Sunday that I decided to finally go back to his parents house for the first time to get some real sleep for a change. When I arrived back at the hospital Monday morning, I found out that both David and Bud were being discharged from the hospital. What a wonderful answer to all of our prayers!
David is doing much better. He received two 12 hour IV antibiotics on Sunday to clear up a little redness and puffiness around one of his incisions. He has a prescription for a 5 day antibiotic and about 2 weeks prescription pain killers. His pain while taking these pills has been holding steady around a 4 - much better than what it was previously. He has a post surgery follow up visit with his surgeon Thursday at noon. Assuming it goes well, we will have the okay to head home this weekend.
Bud is also at home now. He is on various medications. His pain level has increased over the past few days, but we are told that was to be expected. Immediately after surgery, he was on strong medication and steriods to prevent him from initially rejecting the kidney and now that medication is wearing off. Hopefully, the pain will decrease again soon.
Thank you all for your prayers and concern over the last few days and weeks. We are so thankful to have had so many people praying over us during this worrisome time in our lives. We are blessed that both surgeries went so well. Both David and Bud's surgeons said that the surgeries couldn't have gone better. The kidney was perfect and both David and his dad are recovering very well. I am convinced that God heard each prayer on their behalf and He watched over both of them all the way through surgery and continues to watch over them as they heal. God truly has blessed us and we are so thankful for His blessings and for each of you.
