Sunday

There were a lot of steps forward again today.  Literally, in the amount of walking she did today. The medical team continues to monitor her levels, especially her kidney function.  She is eating solid foods again today which is very positive. In addition, hospital staff gave her a “brace” for around her waist to help with the pain when walking and moving around. 

Tomorrow will be an important day with a lot of medical providers making rounds.  If Nikki’s levels are good and the entire medical team signs off, there’s a possibility that she could come home as soon as tomorrow.  Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

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.
