I'm not in that situation but I met a woman ,and her sister-in-law, at my hospital who was facing just that.  I met them when they were doing their cross=matching and I saw the recipient again at the lab after her transplant from her sis-in-law.  She spent one week (!) in the hospital and her donor, who was a doctor, went home after three days.  I was amazed and also very encouraged,
