New Transplant

[Lynn]

Trying to keep up with Bruce. Many of you know that my angel of a wife donated a kidney to our 24 year old back in 2012. Mother and son are both still doing fine.

On April 16, my daughter donated a kidney to her husband. Fortunately, she got my blood type and is the "universal donor."

She is 36 and he is 35. He has been at death's door several times in the last few months, down to zero kidney function. They tried three types of dialysis, and he has received three blood transfusions just to keep him alive long enough to get his new kidney. The new kidney started making urine within an hour. He felt so much better within just a few hours, gaining strength in his grip.

They got to come home two days later on Wed. evening the 18th. He was so excited that the whites of his eyes were white for the first time in over two years. The toxins in his blood had given him bloodshot eyes.

Anyway, we are thankful for another miracle in our family. I am guessing I am the only guy in town with a wife and a daughter who are kidney donors.

If I figure out how to get an image from my phone to my computer I wil post a pic of them walking the halls of the hospital the day after the transplant. Please don't send me a PM with the procedure.... I am gettin old and cranky when it comes to technology, and am having a hard time adapting to my new smart phone... my old flip phone died a few weeks ago. It was so old, they could not transfer my data, so I had to manually enter all my contacts. I HATE the new phone. But I digress....
