Another update; I talked to Joe personally earlier this afternoon but I've been busy with family.
The surgery went fine and Joe is in recovery. He sounded good. The new kidney is not functioning as of yet, but the Dr says that is normal and typically takes a week before it starts fully functioning. So that means he will have to have some dialysis until that happens. But this is huge for Joe's life as a whole. He was nearing the typical end of how long most people respond to dialysis, so it came just in time.
