Dude, my blood type is A+. I can't give you a kidney, but I donated blood today in your honor.

Take care of your wife and take care of yourself, too. You need to stay strong and in control.

 

will pray for you and your wife

 

Bump.


Thanks guys!!

 

Same here, my heart goes out to you and your wife.

Does she HAVE to have O+? Is there any way a different blood type would work?

 

Thanks. Either O+ or O- would work, O- is the "universal" type that can donate to anyone but is also the rarest......

 

I will like and share the page, I live completely across the country, but hopefully it will find someone with an O blood type

 

Stay strong my brotha!

 

best of luck to you both. stay strong

 

Thoughts and prayers go out to your family and wish you guys the best luck. I'll pray for you guys tonight!

 

Sharing this with the 3kgt guys as well. Prayers!

Goodlooking out fellas, the love & positive energy is really appreciated!!!

 

Thoughts, hopes, prayers, and best wishes your way from a fellow Rotary owner. Tough times bring learning, and it's written that "you're only given as much as you can handle" - so you and your wife will come out stronger than you went in to the situation. I'm engaged to be married and thought of my fiance and I going through a similar situation. It must be hard, but keep on pushing through.

 

Best of luck, it's a shame the others didn't pull through for you. But if it's any consolation it sounds like quite a few people are getting the word out which at the very least helps bring some hope.

 

Thanks guys. My wife recently joined a new transplant center which allows "paired donations". It's where if you have a donor that isn't compatible with the recipient they help you find another couple that's in the same situation & you pretty much trade organs being they're compatible with each other. I spent my Friday at the transplant unit getting tested. 21 tubes of blood, a chest xray, ekg & a cat scan. Now we play the waiting game to hear if everything is good with me to proceed with the next step. If all goes well, hopefully we'll be under the knife in 6 months.... Wish me luck fellas, I'm all in!!

 

This makes me so sad i hope all goes well stay strong!

 

Liked and shared. My thoughts and prayers with you, your Wife and all of your Loved ones.

 

I truly hope all works out for you and your wife

I see the LES in your avatar..... I absolutely love the east village and a perfect day for me is starting at Crif Dog, then moving to Zum Schneider and finally the Belgian room

 

Wrong blood type, but good luck to you and your wife. Bump!

 

Thanks Bro!!


Update: So she was transferred to a new transplant facility do to insurance reasons. This new place participates in what's called "the paired donors program" which basically allows anyone who's not a match with her, but wants to donate to her to come forward & get tested to see if they are in good enough health to donate. They then begin a chain of transplants with couples who have donors that aren't a match as well {basically swap them around so everyone get's a matching one}.

I got tested 2 months ago & was told I was a bit over weight & pre diabetic. I went on a strict diet & basically stopped all sugars. 20lbs later I'm @ a good weight & the symptoms of the diabetes are gone. We go in 2 weeks to fill out all the consent forms & then it's a waiting game, should be no more than 6 months as oppose to 6yrs...

 

any updates?

 

Looks like we'll be going under the knife the 2nd week of October if everything goes accordingly...

 

I'll keep you guys in my prayers. wish you guys the best.
