Suz - Thanks for your words. That must have been hard to see your brother go through all of that. But that's great to hear he did well.
My cousin's op is at Westmead. Her son was born with a huge amount of problems, including only one functioning kidney (and even that one wasn't much good). They let that kidney go down to 2% functioning ability before he could be operated on and he needed to be 10kg. Of course with a poorly functioning kidney he hasn't grown or developed like a normal bub so it has been a long process. He's actually 15 months. When they thought it was his father donating, they were going to have to have some of the kidney showing on the outside because it was so big, but now that it's his mum's he can be stitched up. It is amazing what they can do and I feel good that his surgeon has been branded "Dr God". He's been on RPA and few of those medical shows before.
Anyway, she goes in at 8am today so I won't get any sleep now. I know she and baby will be fine but it is still a very stressful time.
Hope you guys had a good night - we didn't! Jack was so fidgety! I was up three times with him.
