Scientist donated a kidney! (My latest Kidney Match)
« on: August 07, 2011, 09:51:34 PM »

                                        *  My Latest Kidney Match *

Jessica Langer, a 40 year old mother of 3, Scientist from Highland Park, New Jersey, donated a kidney to a stranger Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at Montefiore Medical Center, New York.

Jessica contacted me that she wanted to donate a kidney after seeing a posting I had in a Jewish internet group.

She didn't meet or speak to her recipient, prior to meeting her for the first time when she left the hospital, 2 days after her kidney donation!

The transplant was a success!  The recipient's createnine went down right away to a normal level and the next day, it was all the way down to .08!

Happy to share the good news!

P.S. Still very hard to get people to donate a kidney, unfortunately.

Thank you, all! (-:

P.S. The recipient came home the other day, she is a new person.  She was so ill before.
