The surgeons are attaching Molly's blood vessels to her new kidney. They said it was good to take the left kidney out of Sara because her heart is so big it could use more room (which explains how she could do such a selfless act).
Sara's surgeon just talked to Jane and me. He said everything went very well. Her kidney looked great. She will have a little pain (doctor talk for excruciating pain) tonight and she should be able to get up and walk around tomorrow. Looks like Sara will be 100% in a short period of time and down the line back scoring goals on the hockey rink (just no enforcer duties). Sara's surgeon (Dr. G) is really cool and he used to do kidney transplants at the University of Minnesota. His last comment was, "she should be fine. I just hope she doesn't fall asleep at work." He then walked away laughing. Everybody is a comedian.
