Sat Morning

 More good news this morning!  Nikki had a good night sleep and hospital staff now have her sitting up in a chair in her room.  She has even eaten some jello this morning.  As expected, she is still very tired but eating the jello is another positive milestone!

Out of Surgery

Happy to report that Nikki is out of surgery and that everything went smoothly.  The kidney is functioning well,  although Nikki might have to do a couple rounds of dialysis. This is fairly normal with the kidney being outside the body for a period of time.  She is in recovery right now and David should be able to see her soon.  She is at Univ of Penn hospital in Philly. Her room has a nice view of Franklin Field.
