Hi all,
I haven't posted on the forum for a long time, so long I couldn't remember my username. In November of 2006 I donated a kidney to my father. I'm sad to say he passed away on March 13th due to an infection he contracted. The nurses said he had too many things working against him: his compromised vascular system from his bypass, his compromised immune system from his transplant, his diabetes - all these things resulted in his body not being strong enough to battle the infection and his organs shut down. I am proud to have given him 9 years of life that he would not have had without my kidney. I would like to thank LDO for everything you do, all the support you provide here is priceless.
All the best to you here. Take care.
