Updates on Transplant

Hello everyone!
This is Allie, ( Beths best friend) I will be letting you all know as updates come about. Currently Beth and Max are in the operating room and thats all i got, so keep those prayers coming!

10:30am - Beths kidney is out and Maxs is almost out.

11:45am - Beths healthy little kidney is out and being prepped to go into mighty Max! It is estimated that Beth will be out of surgery in about an hour and a half. It's almost time for the switch-a-roo!

12:35pm- Beth is heading to recovery. I hear her surgery went great. They are halfway through sewing Maxs new kidney in! things are also going well with his surgery currently. Keep on praying!

1:15pm - Dr. Ben says the kidney is in, and its pink! Tim just left to go see wonder woman in recovery!

*Beth is heading up to her room. Max is still in surgery. The kidney is good, and it already peed! I think Beth is feeling a bit rough.

3:30pm - Max is in the process of getting closed up now. Doctors should be out in about an hour to talk to Tim. They need prayers for speedy recoveries!

4:16pm - Max is out and in recovery. Everything went great, and nothing but good news on our end! continue prayers for quick recoveries!

Beth was right in her last post, today WAS a good day. Thanks to everyone for all the prayers, they seemed to work! They were in awesome hands today!

My mother passed away almost a year ago today with ESRD. Your story is near and dear to my heart. Know that you have a special angel named "Betty" watching over you today leading your fight. She would never want a precious child like Max to endure the suffering brought on by kidney disease. You have one special lady looking out for you today. May you feel the love of many, many people....including Angel Betty!

I just found your blog from Jenny. I am a kidney Mom who gave her son a kidney 4 years ago now. He also needed fetal surgery. He has Prune Belly syndrome. We live in WI. Mason's site is caringbridge.org/visit/masongrahl.

I'm on FB also, anne lahaie grahl.

I am very happy to have found your story. Max is adorable!! I will be keeping you both in my prayers for a smooth recovery. Sending hugs!!!
