My sister sent out an update this morning. Apparently the new kidney is functioning perfectly. He'd had a bit of a temperature for the first day but the docs figured it was related to a cold he and my sister both had a few days ago. Obviously they've pumped him full of antibiotics as a prophylactic measure and the temp is gone. He's been up and around a lot and walks around with no pain. Yay!

He should be ready to come home over the weekend! My sis is taking a couple of weeks off to look after him--lots of visits back to the transplant unit for the first year, then things taper off. Still beats dialysis.

Prayers and all continue, but so far so good...
