Another successful surgery
2:30 p.m. EST news: Jeanne just called after speaking to Tim's surgeon. As with the nephrectomy, all went well with the transplant. Tim has been taken to ICU where Jeanne and Chef Mike should be able to see him in about 30 minutes.
Of course, continued thoughts and prayers are needed as the kidney gets used to its new home. There is the issue of rejection that should keep us from becoming too overconfident right now, but everything has gone well up to this time.
According to the only information the surgeon could give her, Ann is in the Recovery Room after her surgery. Tim would, without question, ask us to extend thoughts and prayers to Ann and her family, also.
The best guess is that there won't be much news to report until later this evening. Check in sometime this evening for an update. And, as always, breaking news will be brought to you as it happens.

Continued thoughts and prayers for Tim and Ann and caregivers... we all know there's a long road ahead, but this is a new and miraculous phase in the journey!

Thanks Brian for keeping us all posted. I've been checking the blog off and on all day, as I'm sure many others are. I sent an email to all my ringers who met Tim at an Area III Festival in 1999 and by their responses, I know that prayers for Tim, Ann and all those involved have been happening all day and will continue. Thanks for the good news and for keeping us in the loop!
Hi, SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad to see you on Sat. You know that you took my breath away I was so surprised to see you!
Glad you made it through surgery this morning. I'll keep the prayers going for both you & Ann.
I'll be in touch.
God Bless,
Donna
Glad to hear everything went nicely. Congrat's to all. Ray
