Just so happens we are. So now we are on the eve of a lifechanging event for the both of us.
in the middle of this I'd like to change and state that during this "journey" I've had the opportunity to come in contact with an absorbanent amount of people both locally and through the internet-some of whom are right here participating in SRP. As such I'd lke to take this opportunity to say to everyone....Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Now for the request. Since my sister will be the first one going iinto surgery giving me another lease on life so to say. Could you please, if you get a chance think of and as such wish her well on this journey.

THank you all for your kindness and support
Michael

Good luck to your sister and yourself. We will be praying for you.

My prayers are with you and your amazing sister, I wish you a speedy recovery.[/QUOTE]

My thoughts are with you Michael, I now what you are going through, more than 25 years ago I lost my eldest brother also named Michael to kidney failure aged only 26, but you are lucky with having a perfect match with your Sister, i'm absolutely sure you are going to make a 100% recovery.

Regards
Jamie

Michael, both you and your sister will be in my thoughts and prayers today.

Two weeks ago tomorrow, my uncle donated one of his kidneys to his brother. I'm happy to say that both of my uncles are doing very well. The one who received the kidney came home from the hospital after only 3 days and now feels better than he has in years.

It takes a special relationship for someone to give so freely of themselves.
