He told me that the kidney looks extremely healthy and had in fact 5 vessels, not the standard issue 2. In other words, three g'zintas (arteries) and two g'zouttas (veins). Since there was quite a bit of vascular surgery to install it, it took longer.
The oozy part came in at the end when he cautioned that some of the internal sutures appeared just the tiniest bit leaky, but that he wasn't too concerned. If Mark's blood count drops or they see swelling, they'll take him back to the OR and see if they can stem it. Otherwise, he believes there's a very good chance it will resolve on it's own.
Mark immediately began producing pee!!! Crazy sentence, huh? But, golly that's awesome!
Oh, and if I haven't mentioned it, they gave Mark a boatload of anti-rejection meds first thing this morning.
