**Beckdawrek** had some exploratory surgery scheduled for today to see if her leftover kidney would need to come out. If so they would remove it while she was open and asleep. This is the latest info from her youngest daughter: _Mr. Mike…_ _This is Brooke. Mother is in the middle of the surgery._ _The surgeon just told us they’ve decided to not wake her up but go ahead and remove the kidney._ _They said she’s doing fine under anesthesia._ _It will be at least 2hours._ _Thanks for your concern, I keep you posted._ _B._ Beck didn’t want y’all to worry, so I worried for us all. ---

Thanks for keeping us posted. I don’t recall, has there been discussion of a transplant? Are there any viable donors? (And also, pass along my best to Beck via her daughter. I’ve gotten very fond of her and I want her to be alive and as well as possible. She has verve!) ---

She says her doc says she’s a lousy candidate for a transplant, but you can ask her in person in a few days. Folks, don’t tell her but I expected a negative outcome and am relieved. ---
