Daniel's surgery went well!!

Daniel Lords is doing amazing! He had the transplant surgery on August 27, 2008 and after only spending 10 days in the hospital, he is being released to the Ronald McDonald House near Lucille Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford Medical Center. The donor of his new kidney, Kelle Herzog, is also doing well and is recovering at home. Kelle is such a generous person and we can not thank her enough.

Get well wishes for Daniel can be sent to: Amy, Kevin and Daniel Lords, c/o RMH, 520 Sand Hill Road, Room M309, Palo Alto, CA 94304.

Get well wishes for Kelle can be sent to: Kelly Herzog at 801 E. Williams Ave., #3309, Fallon, NV 89406.

Daniel has to remain close to the hospital for approximately 100 days. He will need to have many blood tests during that time to make sure his body does not reject the new kidney. There are many more challenges coming up for the Lords family once Daniel gets home. Daniel's immune system will be very suppressed, so even the simplest of illnesses can be very detrimental to Daniel.

Daniel has a surgery date

Daniel's transplant surgery is August 27, 2008. Daniel's kidneys are failing quickly and we hope that he is able to stay home with his family during these next 2 weeks.

Lets all keep Daniel and his family and Kelle Herzog and her family in our prayers.

A day for celebration

2 matches have been found for Daniel Lords!! 5 people were initially tested as possible kidney donors; they were reduced to 2. Both of these generous people are matches! If all goes well, Daniels doctors are hoping to have his transplant done before September 2008.

The Lords family along with Lords' Little Helpers are extremely thankful to everyone that has helped along the journey to this wonderful day.

We will keep you posted on further updates.
