A couple weeks ago we brought you the story of Charlie Porter, an East Cobb resident who was preparing for a kidney transplant, along with his son Teddy, who was his donor.
That procedure took place last Tuesday in Nashville, and this morning we got the following information and photo above from Charlie:
“I have been in a bit of a bubble since surgery but now that my head is clearing, I wanted to let you know that the transplant was a huge success. Teddy did great and he is now back home being taken care of by his mother and girlfriend. I’ll remain in Nashville for another six weeks or so.
“The surgical staff, nurses etc are all very happy with how everything went.”
