As for the donor ... we really havent looked into things too much.
I have an incompatible blood type, so i'm out, unless our transplant center will take me. I'd love to give him my kidney!
His mom has a matching blood type, and his father is O. They are both ready to give him a kidney, but his doctor would rather get Wade a young kidney.
We've been slowly putting the word out to friends. His doctor is the head of nephrology at a big hospital here, and it's strange - every nurse, tech, or doctor has told us that since Wade is one of his patients, and he's young, and since his doctor wants him to get a kidney so soon and so badly, he won't have to wait long.
Basically everyone said his doctor gets whatever he wants, whenever .... so who knows. I'd hate to steal a kidney from someone who needs it, but then again, Wade needs one too.
