Well, we've only been home for three days and already we are visiting the hospital. It wasn't for very long, but James hasn't been able to sleep since we've been home. Kim and I took him to the ER in Show Low tonight and they found that when he lies down he has low oxygen. When he tried to sleep his oxygen levels kept going up and down. He also has some fluid build-up in his lungs already, the thing we are most afraid of during this time. Doctor Wilson, who was really great, says that dialysis should be taking that out, so let's hope they are able to do that. We had an oxygen machine delivered to the house by the time we got home and are hoping that James is finally able to sleep tonight.
We knew that this recovery time was the most risky and we are counting down until the blessed day when he will finally get his transplant. It cannot come soon enough.

This is how big James' kidneys are. A regular kidney is the size of a fist.
