05/02: Frank Torre Undergoes Kidney Surgery
Posted by: Patrick
Updating a previous story, from the official site:
... Frank Torre, the older brother of Joe Torre, is recovering in a New York hospital after undergoing kidney transplant surgery. The organ was donated by his daughter.
"Frank got through his surgery -- that's step one," Torre said. "My sister called me at 3 o'clock New York time and said his surgery just ended. The doctor went in and told them that the kidney seemed to start functioning right away. He's in recovery."
Joe Torre expects his brother to be out of the hospital in a week to 10 days.
"His daughter is doing well," Torre said. "Hopefully, it improves that way."
