I got a call from UCLA transplant center Friday saying that my friend was accepted as a donor and they are starting all the organ typing and matching process. This is a good thing but the same friend was rejected (or at least put on hold) before so I’m not celebrating yet. Transplants are difficult; nothing is final until the kidney is in and working. I probably need to make a trip to UCLA next week to renew my blood test. My friend was a 3/6 antigen match before… hope nothing has changed too much.
