Kidney donor Nate is awake and making jokes and his wife and kidney recipient Heather, whose operation started later and went longer, was just awake enough at last cousin check-in (with her sister reporting to the family) that now all they have to do is heal from it all.
Along with a lifetime of her being immunosuppressed now, but hey, a lifetime, now.
To all who Thought Good Thoughts their way or said prayers, I am grateful. Thank you. To life!
