This is Tim, Shelley's spouse, writing for her on this big day. Shelley was just wheeled into surgery here at Swedish Hospital in Seattle and surgery is probably just under way. About an hour or so later, our dear friend Heather will be in an nearby surgery room, being opened up to receive Shell's left kidney. By that time, the kidney will be attached to Shell by only a couple blood vessels. I'll post updates as they come in. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers as Shell & Heather make this exchange today and as they recover in the days & weeks ahead.
Tim
