Coming home

Pappa came home from the hospital today. It is unbelievable that you can have a transplant on Sunday evening/Monday morning and then come home on Friday of the same week. AMAZING! We took the kids to see her tonight. She seems to be doing really well. We have to be super careful that we are not the least bit sick when we see her, as her immune system is suppressed.

Adnan and I talked to the kids today about what happened to Pappa. They understood (at least somewhat) that she used to have treatments to clean her blood. Leila had lots of questions about how she got a kidney, where it came from and what organs are? I can't imagine as a child trying to make sense of this! Pappa is very brave and the kids love her!
