It is hard to believe it, but the day has finally arrived!
Just a quick note of clarification. As I believe I have indicated to most of you, this is a 3-way paired donation involving 3 donors and 3 recipients. Our donor (who is not a good match for Karen) will give her kidney to another recipient in Baltimore, their donor will give a kidney to another recipient in St. Louis and that person’s donor (in St. Louis) will give her kidney to Karen. So two kidneys will be making the flight between St. Louis and Baltimore! But in all of my posts, when I refer to “our donor” I am speaking of our friend from Winston-Salem who has volunteered to give a kidney on Karen’s behalf (even though Karen won’t actually be receiving her kidney). She is our true hero and who we consider “our donor.”
So our donor surgery will occur about 7:00am this morning and Karen’s surgery will occur around 2:30 this afternoon (both in Baltimore). Please continue to pray for all six people involved in this!
