On March 7th Dave had both his Kidneys removed. Below is a picture of him ready to go home after being in the Hospital 5 days. (eventually I will hopefully have a picture of his kidneys as well)
About a week before the surgery I had to go give a blood sample so they could make sure they had the right blood oh hand just encase I need a blood transfusion during the surgery. I then had to wear the bracelet shown below until the surgery. Luckily no blood transfusion was needed.
The night before we both had to use these fun wipes to clean off and then again in the morning the day of surgery.
