His transplant took place on February 23, 2023. His sister was a live donor and a perfect match! He is doing so well! The transplant and recovery were textbook perfect and we are enjoying a life free from dialysis and other restrictions that came with it. He had interdialetic hypertension so there were some very scary moments and we felt the "clock was running out" so the transplant was just such an amazing gift. I am so grateful to his sister and she will never really know how much her gift saved him. As we come up on the 1 year kidneyversary we are beginning to get out more and enjoy this gift of life he was given. He continues to eat healthy, watch his protein intake, stay active, and rebuild the strength he lost. He has IgA so the antirejection meds are at a bit higher dosage so there are the side effects of those. He states that he will never feel 100% "normal" like he did before kidney failure but the side effects are manageable and he tolerates the meds fairly well. I will check out the other discussion you recommended. Thank you!
