My brother came forward and wants to be a donor. up until this point he hasnt had much to do with any kind of doctors. i was so terrified that he would find out that he had some type of serious illness. but everything went well. All the tests he had to day came back fantastic. they will meet a week from mon, and we will get our official answer. they said they wouold prolly take his left kidney. he found out that his kidneys have 2 arteries, thought that was pretty cool. :bandance;

My left kidney had 2 arteries. Was not an issue when they took it out. I am so happy his testing went well!
