The Inside Story about Pa

We are so excited that our precious Pa received a new kidney!  He received the kidney from an anonymous donor.  We don't know the story behind why the donor gave his or her kidney to Pa.  We DO know they are a VERY special person and gave an extraordinary gift to our Pa.  We will be forever grateful to them and their selfless act of kindness.  

The Hospital provided Gran & Pa "A Kid's guide to kidney and liver transplants" and sent it home for the boys to read.  It was very educational to grown-ups too.  Did you know when you get a new kidney, they don't take a kidney out.  So now Pa has 3 kidneys; 2 that don't work so well and one new one.

The boys made Pa a BIG get well card and we have plans to talk to Pa on skype once he gets home.  It will be a few month before the boys can see Pa.  Pa has to be very careful about not getting sick while his body get used to the new kidney.
