Mayo Clinic Information

Mayo Clinic has a great website with all kinds of educational information and I've included a link in case you want to read up on kidney transplants/living donors and what the process entails.

http://www.mayoclinic.org/kidney-transplant/

And to my knowledge, Jamie has not been put on a donor list as she has two living donors, Jenny and I. If, through testing we prove to not be compatible and no other living donors are an option, then Jamie will be put on a transplant list. We are praying that is not an option.

How does one become a living donor for Jamie if Jenny nor I are compatible? You must have blood type A, be in good physical and mental condition and are very serious about donating an organ. Other criteria for becoming a living donor can be found at the above website under Living Donors.

*NOTE TO BLOG LURKERS* There is no monetary compensation and we will not 'buy' your kidney. It is illegal to do so and absolutely unethical for our family to consider that.
