The kidney photos from transplant day.
Jody and Gage both wanted photos of their kidneys. Gage wanted pictures of both the old one and the new one. I’m finally getting around to loading them up. They aren’t the clearest photos because the camera they let us send it wasn’t exactly my Nikon D70, but they are still telling photos.
I’ve put them in the photo album. I had also wanted to show Gage’s belly post surgery shot too, but I don’t want it public. I will post it when Dawn helps me set up this site with a new look and password protected photos.
Gage’s kidney went to UAB for research I’m glad to say. When pathology sent it they cut it up and put it into tubes. It’s crazy, but I have those pictures too!
But the yucky kidney and the lovely, fine-looking kidney are pictured on the side bar (not to state the obvious, but it’s titled Photo Album). Click on and look. Unless you are Tina. Tina, most certainly, you do not want to look.
And Jody. Thanks. Thanks for this photo op. They are the best blurry photos I have ever seen. We love you. And your photographed kidney. Happy 6 months.
Wow! What a difference! Cool pictures, I would have never thought to ask our transplant team to let us take pictures! It would have been interesting to see the difference though.
I think the kidney pictures are neat. We got pictures of Jen & Jon’s native livers. We even have them in our transplant scrapbook.

Wow, I should not have looked. It makes me sad to think my son has yucky kidneys like that. I’ve seen the advocacy brochure picture of the 15 lb really yucky kidney, but it hit home when it waa a real kid’s kidney. You’re always in my thoughts and prayers.
