Hope it all works out for you both. Let me share my donation story. I offered to be a donor 10 years ago for my niece who has AgI neropothy. But a friend offered and they took that one. Well I said then I would be her ace in the hole if she needed another one. His blood was a little better match than mine at the time. 4 out of 5 markers. So then 9 years later she was in need of another transplant. My daughter offered this time as they are the same age, 35 and I am almost 60. My daughter was a perfect match! The final test was the MRI and she was found to have only one kidney! She has never had an issue and has two children. Well, we were all devastated to get that news. Not for the singular kidney, but that here was a perfect match that of course couldn't donate. So.......it was my turn to be tested again from 9 years before. I was still in very good health, no meds, no issues at all. My niece had a blood treatment 3 years earlier that altered her blood enough to be a better match to me this time, 4 out of 5 markers. So in about a month, all tests were complete and we got scheduled for surgery. Hopefully my 60 YO kidney will give her as many years of service as her first one, before she is need of another. Another good thing, this kidney is producing the hormone needed to make red blood cells. Her other one didn't and she had to get shots for anemia all the time. So the 60 YO kidney is rockin so far for her.
