I just got an email from my sister-in-law (husband's sister) that she is a 3/6 antigen match!  I'm guessing she'll admit for the remainder of her testing pretty soon! Wish her (me) luck! |

Kelly, yeah!! You certainly have been on an up and down ride the past few months. I am praying this turns out to be a big green light and you get that new kidney soon. We are all your cheerleaders We want you to get that kidney quicky |

Of course I wish you luck...I would anyway but all the more since we're in exactly the same situation. My sister-in-law (my brother's wife) is coming up here hopefully in September to do her testing.  |

Thanks for the wells wishes everyone!
Monrein, that is so cool! Isn't it amazing? I never in a million years would have thought this sis-in-law would have tested. My brother's wife has offered, but she's been my sis-in-law for 26 years! My husband's sister has only been my sis-in-law for 10 years. It's great! I'll never look at her the same way again - Transplant or not!
Thanks again! I'll keep you all posted!
