For those of you who don't know, my dad's name is Dean. And there have been many jokes being passed around about my dad and his brother-in-law being "blood related" now and then there's the one about the Kidney DEAN (instead of BEAN) ha ha ha. Anyway, my mom is an amateur photojournalist so here it is in it's entirety:
Pre-Op: Don is in his Chef Uniform. This is Monday, Oct. 13, about 7:00am, half hour before surgery.
This was just before Uncle Jud got wheeled into the Prep room.
Dad is got all the info on the surgery and what to expect etc... and as the docs were finishing up telling him that, Jud got wheeled in to get him started.
Dad's surgery started a half hour before Uncle Jud's.
Aunt Marilyn and Melanie (Dad's older sister, Melanie, Uncle Jud's daughter). Visiting Dean Monday after surgery. VERY emotional, lots of tears and all. 
(Right) Uncle Jud and Aunt Evie gave dad a T-shirt that we all thought quite appropriate. It says, "Only God can give life, but we can share it."
Wednesday (yesterday) dad went to see Jud before he went home. I wasn't there but I can imagine just how emotional it was. Thanks for your prayers, thoughts, and words of encouragement.
