Two family members got tested and both got the go ahead for the next round of testing to give me their kidney. :bandance; :yahoo; :2thumbsup; :wine; :beer1; :cheer:
Before I go too crazy celebrating, they do still need to go through another round of tests - not sure what they are. I think just echos and such to make sure they won't have a hard time going under. I'm really not sure though.
They're coming down here in August to get that done and *hopefully* one of them will get the go ahead and we can get this all scheduled this fall. Fingers crossed!

Great to hear your good news! Congrats!! There's a lot of people on here doing well with their transplants, hopefully you will have your own success story to share soon, too!
-
How exciting for you! I hope at least one of them pans out.
-
Great news Fabki! How long have you been on dialysis? Are your donors older or younger and close in size?
-
This is wonderful news. It's hard to walk that line of optimism and caution. Wishing you all the best.

I hope it all works for you! :thumbup;

So, both potential donors just finished their second rounds of testing. One is almost a definite shoe in. The other we're pretty sure is also gonna get the stamp of approval. It has not been lost on any of us how unbelievably blessed we are to potentially have options - or even just to get this far with two people.
My goal is to at least have a surgery date set by my one year mark in October. :cheer:
-
That is REALLY a blessing. Clearly, you are much loved.
-
Wow, fantastic, and good luck with everything else
:flower;
Love, luck and strength, Cas

It's always good to hear about some one graduating.from dialysis, some of the happiest people I know are exdialysis patients that have been transplanted. I hope you join them soon.

Best of love and luck to you! Always good to hear about people stepping up to the plate to help a loved one, hope you get a new bean very soon and have a nice long happy life together!
