O.T. My nephew - 03/06/19 07:18 PM

We're on edge here waiting for Susan's and my nephew, Tommy Ford, to get a new kidney. He is 38, a father of four, and has been on dialysis for six years.
They called him yesterday, and he went in for prep at 7 this morning and has been waiting about 10 hours for the donor kidney to arrive.
Sure puts things into perspective...
Latest word is that the surgery will be at 10 p.m.
If you are inclined to pray for people you don't know, this would be a great time!

Father, we lift up to you Don's nephew Tommy Ford for complete success of his kidney transplant. It is written in your word, 1 Peter 2:24: who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness, by whose stripes we were healed! Thank you Father for Tommy's healing, in the name of Yahshua (Jesus) haMassiach, Amen.

Thanks Tony, David, Donny and Jim.
They finally got him into surgery at 10:48. The new kidney is now in his body. Didn't take quite as long as it might have because he didn't have kidneys to take out.
I'm waiting to hear more, but so far so good.

Kidney started producing urine right away. There was a little excess bleeding during the surgery, but everything looks good at this point.
Thank you all.
