This is the best Christmas present I could ever have received. Now it's just a matter of getting him back and hoping there is enough kidney function left to salvage so that he doesn't end up back on dialysis.

Now I hope and pray the kidney's not shot. If he ends up on dialysis again, then it was too late.

We are at the low end of what we were predicting. It was a little better than expected, I guess. It was just so warm and wet. A lot of it was melting.
