Surgery is over part #2

Hello everyone,  Thank you so much for all your prayers.  Sophie is resting well.  We are hoping that she sleeps through the night.  She did wake up and sat straight up in the bed.  I asked her if she wanted water and she said yes.  She took a few sips and laid back down.  

Dr. Joseph came to the room and checked on her.  He said that she did really well during the surgery.  He said that her whole system (kidney and ureter) measured 18 inches.  Her kidney was the size of an orange.  Her bladder is also enlarged but we are hoping that will shrink over time.  I do not see how Sophie has managed to run and play.  It had to be like a woman feels when she is 9 months pregnant and ready to give birth!!!  She is going to feel so empty when she finally wakes up and walks around.  

Pray that she sleeps all night.  The plan is to come home to more after she urinates on her own .  she will sleep with a catheter.
