Jane just had a talk with the doctors, who reviewed with her the latest test results.
They're very pleased.
She's showing zero protein in her urine, for the first time in 8 years, and all the other test results are very good. It looks like the new kidney is doing very well.

Friday update
Jane continues to look healthier and happier each day, we're hoping she'll be home soon, but the doctors are keeping their cards close to their chests for now.
Here's a picture taken on Xmas morning...

Tuesday update
Stuart here.
The doctors operated on Jane again last night, and this time they're pretty convinced they've fixed the bleed. Jane was looking much better when I saw her today, sitting up in a chair and trying to convince me to smuggle her in an icy-pole.
Lois was also looking very well today, and is now resting happily at home.

Sunday update
Stuart here.
Things haven't gone quite as well for Jane as we'd hoped.
She's got some post operative bleeding, which prompted the doctors to operate on Friday night. They thought they'd fixed it, but it's come back, so she was having all sorts of tests today to try to identify the problem.
The doctors are confident they can fix this, but Jane hasn't had the easy, restful weekend we'd hoped for.
Meanwhile - the good news is that Lois was very bright and chirpy today, and looks likely to be going home soon.

Last Day of Freedom
It is my last day before going into the Austin Hospital and I'm almost certain to be having the transplant. The cold I am suffering from, it has been decided, is not bad enough to postpone the operation. The team at the Austin will have the last say on that tomorrow morning after I am admitted. I am feeling relieved that a decision has been made. I hadn't realized how stressed I was, not knowing.
I have had a good day today with more energy than usual. Went to a financial meeting this morning and had a haircut this afternoon, so I am ready. But on the down side I am still suffering from coughing fits and consequently having trouble sleeping.
