Title: Web sites with transplant waittimes
Post by: Lillupie on June 03, 2012, 01:00:38 PM

ok,
 We know that every state has a different waitlist. Like Michigan is 5.5 years. Wisconsin has like two and i think California has like 10.
 My question to you all is there a site I can look up that has the wait times. Im trying to prove by me moving to Kentucky it will be easier for me to get a kidney then it will be if I stay in Michigan.

(to make a long story short I got married to a man in the military, and my daughter's father is giving me a hard time about taking our daughter out of state)

Thanks
Lisa

I did a bit of research about that, and couldn't find one. Just let your daughter's father prove that it isn't

The following website has a lot of useful data divide by states so you can compare the average numbers.  Hope this helps.

If he fights you in court, the judge will look only at the best interests of the child.  Of course, having a mom off dialysis with an extended life span and better health seems like it counts as being in her best interests to me!

Go to http://www.srtr.org/csr/current/Centers/TransplantCenters_New201112x.aspx?organcode=KI
You can also search by state

omg, :bandance;
 I love you guys so much!!!! Thank you so much for the information. I didnt find the one that Okarol found. See I just want to move 8-10 hours to be with my husband whom I have never lived with for longer then two weeks at a time.

To make a long story short my daughter's father wants to refuse to let our daughter go out of state. He will not pay child support and its only $50 a month. I got $2.80 in the last 5 years. He has no job, no car, no place to live. When my daughter goes over there they sleep on the couch together! And part of my moving is to get a kidney sooner then in Michigan. In Sept it will be 5 years since I have been listed. I refuse to go without my daughter. Last year she had kindergarden with her dad and missed 25 days of school!

Another reason to let me go is to try to prove it easier for me to get a kidney
