I just got off the phone with Lisa. Madison got out of Peds ICU on Christmas eve.
It looks like Madison is going home tomorrow.
Starting yesterday Madison will have to drink 4 liters of water per day. Up until that she was getting the fluid through her IV. Lisa mentioned that LPCH's procedure post transplant is to keep the new kidney adequately "profused". Even better according to Madison is that within the next week or two they will surgically remove her dialysis lines and her port. Madison says she will no longer be a freak. The plan is to leave the feeding tube ( mickey button )coming from her stomach to a little button next to her navel in. The mickey button will be good for medication and perhaps pushing some of that enormous amount of water down while Madsie is asleep.
