Kitsune try to not despair.. I called up and asked and they told me the issue was the fine until they mixed the donor blood with dragon blood and the kidney was found to not be totally compatable with dragons... they need a special kind. However they did inform me that dragon compatable kidneys are definitely out there and when the right match for you comes along you're right there at the top of the dragon kidney list!!!

Hang in there!!   :grouphug; :grouphug; :grouphug;

Wattle.. I haven't had a call either... you know what I'm not even sure if they do the "standby" deal here... I think they call once the organ is matched to you and it's a firm offer.... Who knew you had tasmanian tiger kidneys??? just kidding you know I love you xoxox

Kitsune - when they get the right kidney for you it will all be good.  Try to hang in there.   :grouphug;

Yeah, they said that it would be hard to cut through my wings and get a human kidney in there. But I'll be roaring and flying through the sky eating sheep soon.

It may be hard getting good and then bad news but it sure must be a good feeling to know you are close to getting a kidney. If this wasn't the right one for you then so be it. Dragons need the perfect kidney just for them.  At least they haven't forgotten you.
