Title: new from Alaska
Post by: deahuff on March 26, 2009, 07:06:23 AM

Hi all,
I am Dea. I was on dialysis the last 2.5 years and I just had a positive cross match kidney transplant at Mayo and everything is going great. My antibody cross match was really really high, >400 with my donor and with new research drugs everything went great. I tried to become a member last summer, but I had an admin problem that has now been fixed. I have read many links and found great information here.
Thanks,
Dea

Hi Dea  :waving; 

If you don't mind me asking is Dea short for anything?  We call my lilttle girl Dea short for Sandia.  I haven't heard of too many people called Dea.  So I love it!
