Calling all kidneys!

We are currently looking for some people who would be willing to donate a kidney for Daniel. If you would like to be tested, or know of someone who would like to be tested, please contact me. Below are what it entails:
1You need to be 18 - 55 (although they said nothing magical happens at 55, so a few years over would be considered)
2. Body Mass Index of 30 or less
3. No history of diabetes
4. No history of medicated hypertension/high blood pressure
5. No history of kidney stones within the last 5 years.
6. If you have been pregnant, you must be at least 6 months post-partum
7. Access to a primary care physician.
If you 'pass' the above list, here are some things that would happen after that. You will have your blood and tissue tested to make sure it's compatible with Daniel's. You have to be O+, we do know that. If you 'pass' that and it is determined that you would be a good candidate as a donor you will then have chest x-ray, EKG and kidney ultrasound to make sure you are healthy enough for the surgery. You'd meet with an Andult Nephrologist and then have a CT scan and meet with a social worker. I don't know what those last 3 things do!
After the surgery: You will be in the hospital for up to 5 days at Stanford University Hosptial. After you are discharged you can't lift anything heavy or exercise for up to 8 weeks. It is suggested to talk to you HR department and arrange for disability during this time if you don't want to 'waste' vacation time. Stanford will write help in this process in any way they can.
You will be checked every 3,6,9 months after surgery to make sure your incisions and healing is going well.
So there it is! I am going to be starting some fund raising to help pay for costs for not only our family, but hopefully get enough for the donor, if they need help, too. We know this is a lot to ask of someone, but let us know if you are interested and we'd understand if you back out at any time. If you'd like to talk to the transplant coordinator to answer some questions, her name is Kim Miller and her number is: 650-498-4905.
