Title: Hello from Northern Ireland
Post by: Alison McNeilly on October 08, 2010, 04:48:44 PM

Hello, I am Northern Ireland UK. On 5th July 2010 I became a living Kidney donor to my brother Alan. Alan was born with spina bifida and developed ESR through infections and complications of spina bifida. Alan started Haemo Dialysis last March thankfully he no longer needs Dialysis.

Welcome Alison!

You are one of the special people of this world to do that for your brother and free him, for now and hopefully a long time, from the rigours of dialysis.

You are most welcome here!!

Welcome to our community, Alison!!  What a wonderful thing to do for your brother!  Donors are heroes around here :bow; :bow; :bow; , so you are our latest heroine.  You must go to our Transplant section and tell you and your brother's story.  You are now part of our IHD family  :grouphug; - a real family - caring and sharing.

How horrible to have spina bifida AND have to endure dialysis.  That's really too much for one person to bear.  What a wonderful think you've done for your brother.  I can't thank you enough.  How is he doing?  When did he have his transplant?  And how are YOU doing?
