Thank you all for the prayers. Max did very well during the procedure. He knew exactly where we were when Tim and I walked him to the procedure room and started to cry. I decided to hold him while they put him to sleep with the mask. I have done this before and new it was hard, but it wasn't fair to just hand my screaming 2 year old over to someone he didn't know if they would let me hold him. Yeah it was much harder than I remembered. I helped get him up on the table and Tim and I were escorted to the waiting room (even though we can get there with our eyes closed). I got to the waiting room and a couple of tears fell, but I held it together for the most part.
Dr. Ben and Dr. Brad come out about an hour later and said that he did great and that they were able to get two samples of the kidney. They put a rush on the results in hopes that we will get them by the end of the day today.
There was minimal bruising and we are putting pressure on the kidney as we speak, so we should be able to go home tonight. If all goes well we will be out of here around 10pm.
We are three and half hours into this and he is do fantastic. I may have just jinxed ourselves, but I am so proud of him. He sat up once and got mad when we laid him back down, but he is good now. We are on our second viewing of Toy Story and he's still content. Fingers are crossed that it continues to go this smoothly.
Please continue to pray that there aren't any signs of rejection and that we have an uneventful six and a half hours.
