The Big Day Is Almost Here!

Hi All,
Thought I would put together a group email to give family and friends information about my surgery. As you know, I am donating my left kidney to a friend. Her name is Dianna Brown. The surgery is scheduled for Monday, May 16, at 8:30am. We will be at the hospital at 5:30am. Dean and I will be spending Sunday night in Denver at a hotel, Boston Commons. Dean's parents are coming to help take care of Aiden while I am in the hospital. Dean will have both his cell phone and my cell phone on him Monday. His cell number is 719-466-1395 and my cell number 719-439-7247. The home number is 719-203-4827. The surgery should last between 3-4 hours. I am also including a link to the hospital -- Porter-Adventist Hospital 2525 South Downing Street, Denver, CO 80210 phone 303-778-1955 (main line to the hospital), a link to the surgeon Dr. Warren Kortz, and a link to the Da Vinci tool used for surgery. After recovery I will be moved to a private room on three north. I should be coming home Tuesday or Wednesday... depending on how fast I recuperate.

Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts and concern. Dean will keep you updated on Monday as he knows information. If I have your number, it is on my phone. If your number has changed recently, please let us know. Not sure if there is wifi in the hospital. Dean is also planning on bringing his little laptop. His email is dwarrend33@hotmail.com

Love You All!
