Welcome to our CaringBridge website. Our Kidney Adventure takes us to the world-famous Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and their top-ranked kidney transplant program. We love their encouragement for pre-emptive transplant to avoid dialysis. Since we share the same blood type, we had hoped Ron could donate one of his juicy kidneys directly to Susie, but alas, our antibodies don’t match. When told that our romantic idea would not fly, Susie quipped to the nephrologist: “Well, he wanted to give me his kidney...but he already gave me his heart!”
We enrolled in the Paired Kidney Donation program and look forward to Susie’s transplant and Ron’s “living donation.”
Thanks for checking in! We’ll keep you posted! Susie and Ron
