craig's surgery update

As most of you know craig donated his kidney to his dad on friday 12/12. The surgeries went very well. Craig's dad is doing extremely well with his new kidney. He was released from the hospital a couple of days ago and the doctors are impressed with how well his new kidney is fuctioning. Craig is still in the hospital however. The doctors say that the donor always has a harder time recovering. Craig is experiencing a lot of pain in his belly and he is still on an iv. Abdominal surgery is extrememly rough on the gut and it can take a lot of time for the gut to recover. Unfortunately there is nothing the doctors can do to relieve the discomfort. I am so very proud of him. He is so brave and strong. it isn't easy seeing him in so much pain but we both have all the faith in the world that god is taking good care of him. Craig is a true hero. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful man as my husband. We ask everyone to keep craig in their prayers. I will do my best to keep everyone up to date.
