@reganbell Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Your friend is lucky to have you in their corner!

Your friend probably should contact the transplant team to let them know of this slight cold. It certainly would be better to know this ahead of time in case they need to reschedule the procedure!

Will you come back and let us know what is found out, please?
