together again!

Matthew would like you to know that he is smiling in this picture, even though you can't see it.

We finally got to see Tim, who was transferred to our floor from the almost-ICU this afternoon. He is looking so much healthier than I've seen him recently, and his lab work has improved dramatically. We imagine his new kidney cracking its knuckles and settling to work, putting its new home to rights.

Matthew will be staying at least one more night as we wait for his pain to abate. I have to imagine it's a bit of a shock to the body, to suddenly have half its normal kidney function. But we are optimistic that he'll feel better soon.
