Gosh I  missed this one too!  Thankfully it sounds like you are both in a good way, :beer1;  wishing robust health and a long lasting kidney.  Sounds like you are off to a good start anyway.
A 31 kidney swap??? That's amazing.

I visited Kim's son Kyle this evening at the Toronto General.  He's looking and feeling terrific, hasn't and won't meet his recipient, and was hoping to be released today.  Doubt that will happen but most likely tomorrow for sure. 
Kyle is a super nice young man in addition to being a bona fide hero.   :flower;

My mom is thinking of doing the testing for the paired donor program after Christmas as a way to keep all doors open for me.

Are you from the Maritimes, Kim? Or is it just that your donor is here?  I had both my transplants in Halifax, one at the IWK, and the other at the VG

I am in Halifax had my transplant at the VG and did dialysis in the Dickson, where are you from?
