Ill be praying for them you guys did for me! Tell the girls they will need to drink lots of water every day, and lay of the caffeine. Im supposed to drink 3 qt of water every day, on top of regular fluids. For pain tell them an epideral. Its a lot easier. They will both be down for 6-8 weeks, slowly working up to normal, Im still not there yet. Just dont let them get dehydrated! Just went through removel of one kidney a month ago and then got dehydrated 2 weeks later. RANDAL
