What now?

We just found out that a potential donor will not be able to give Dan a kidney. You can't imagine how crushing that is. Our friend/potential donor is also extremely disappointed.

So now we go back to a vascular surgeon to have an appointment to have a fistula put in his arm. This will allow for hemodialyis. The fistula has to 'ripen' ...( where do they come up with those terms? 'cure', 'ripen'. You would think they were chefs and not surgeons. ). And we are still in serious need of a kidney. What we can do now is have Dan's sister Leah and anyone else who may be willing to go on the 'swap list' That's where they try to match our donor to a patient who may have a donor that matches Dan. Anyone interested please let us know and we will give the coordinator's name and phone number.
