she is a confident stoic young obviously quite intelligent transplant surgeon
i would estimate she is in her 40s
my guess she was at the top of her med school class
she said hudson is just over 10 kilos thats 22 lbs today
we were shooting for 23 lbs but were slowed by a recent upper respiratory infection and the placement of his gtube last week which caused a few episodes of vomiting and a drop off in his appetite
also his BUN or blood urea nitrogen has now reached the upper 90s
those medical people know what that means
it means
its time
its either go on dialysis
or
get transplanted
so she stood up
looked at all 4 of us
mr hudson
mom
dad
me
its time
we have to do it now
if he does go on dialysis well its best overall that we dont do that
he is just on the cusp of where we can do the transplant
so
she said
on april 21st we are going to transplant hudson
mom lost it
dad teared up
i teared up big time
i think i saw a twitch in her eye maybe a tear
she hugged dad
she hugged me
she gave mom a big ole comforting hug
she bent over
gave hudson a giant hug
hudson
she said
i love you and hugged him again
she said
i have a two year old son
ill take care of hudson during surgery like he was my son
i really lost it then
mom did too
dad did too
its real now for mr hudson
his donor is ready
what a saint she is
saving this childs life
words cant express what she means to us
hudson is ready
let me wipe my tears out of my eyes
blow my nose
take a deep breath
this is the moment we have been waiting for for 18 months
it just got real
