Friend needs some prayers! Kidney Transplant. Please :) TY

[beckie]

Hi Everyone,

One of my best friends, Andrea, is going to Chicago tomorrow for a kidney transplant. Andrea's brother and husband are both matches, but they chose her brother.

Andrea was diagnosed with kidney disease 10 years ago and her kidney's are working at 12% now. Even though once her surgery goes through ok and she'll feel like wonder woman afterwards, this is still a very complicated and serious surgery.

I'm asking all of you (even those of you I really don't know), to please say a prayer and good thoughts/vibes her way tomorrow. Please also send them to her brother and the surgeon as well. She will be surrounded by me and a few other friends tomorrow and I know she'll be in good hands.

Andrea has been such an amazing friend to me and I just want to make sure that there's so much positive energy coming her way, there won't be a chance of any kind of complications.

Thanks,
Beckie

My nephew underwent the same thing a few years ago. I hope it works out as well for her as it did for him. :)

I wanted to thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. My friend is doing awesome. Her surgery has been successful so far and she's ready to go home tomorrow or Sunday. Her brother is already discharged - after 1 day!!! Can you believe it?

Her original surgeon had something else going on and couldn't perform, so the Chief of Surgery actually did the surgery. The top person! :) So he really took care of her.

She's such an amazingly strong person and has such a positive attitude throughout this whole time. Once she gets home, there will be various people taking care of her (me included - in exchange of being able to upload porn using her internet connection). :)

Thank you again.
