OT Finally getting my transplant

[Delsfishes]

Hello Fellow reefers. As some of you know I've been sick for quite some time. I have a disease called Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN)type 1. Ive had these for about five years and been on dialysis for about two years. I left the hobby at that point and now mainly take care of my bosses son system which I treat as my own.. Four months ago one my cousin decided to go to Jackson to get test done to see if she was compatible(she was a perfect match). She did this without me knowing. I was shocked when the hospital called me and said we have a living donor match for you, that's when I found out is was my cousin. Her name Is Reina and she is 31 years old. I just turned 47 in September. I've been blessed, and have no words on how happy I feel. My surgery is on Dec 12 of this year . I pray to god that everything comes out well for both my cousin and me. If everything turns out I will probably get another set up:lolspin: Thanks for the help some of you guys have giving me.

Del

We are looking forward to getting the call to help you set-up that tank soon. I live a bit north of you but lived in Chapel Trail for 10 years before moving to Parkland. God bless and get well soon.

^This^ I know that I don't have a Cousin that I would do that for, I have 3 siblings that I don't think I'd do that for.
I am also hoping for the best possible outcome for the two of you.
