This will be a quick posting until later today or tomorrow morning. Molly is heading to surgery this morning to graft her stumps. The surgeon was in early and said they looked great and she was ready to get them grafted. Her surgery will last about 1 1/2 then post op, etc. She is going to surgery @ 10:30am.
Here is the great news, this could very well be her last surgery, and after the 3-5 days of keeping them wrapped and laying still in bed, the dressings will come off and should only need light wound care to the grafts on the stumps, continued cocoa butter only to the other sites, and normal care to the new donor sites (which, if they are like the previous, will hurt more than the other sites and will feel like a real bad rug burn) for a few days. After that, she will be ready for rehab.
We could possibly be looking at starting rehab at the end of next week or the beginning of the week after.
On other news, her kidneys continue to show good progress. She still needs dialysis, but mayber for not that much longer. I will update you all on the kidney's progress in the next post.
SPECIFIC PRAYERS
- Successful surgery and for the grafts to take completely
- No more than 3-5 days are needed to be in bed and still
- Start rehab in 7-10 days.
- Kidneys
- Travel, I am headed home after surgery, mom & dad, aunt Marty & Ashley are here this weekend, as are some school friends on Sunday.
God Bless you all,
Love, Jamey and Molly

Molly--I know that this is a difficult time. But in difficult times, I sing that old chorus: "This world's not my home, I'm just a-passin' through; my treasure's laid up somewhere beyond the blue..." God wants you to know Him better by caring less about this world.
