Forward progress!

This has been a good week for Nate so far. He no longer has to go to the hospital's lab every morning for blood work, just three days per week, now. The surgeon removed the staples from his incision, which allowed him to take a full-fledged shower!

But the best news to date: the chest catheter, for dialysis, will be removed tomorrow afternoon! The doctor would not order this unless he was totally confident in the function of Nate's new kidney. Pray that this "minor" surgery will go without a hitch, and definitely without any infection.

We remain grateful for your interest, support, and most of all, your continued prayers!
