Living Donor: It's a huge responsibility

Hi, Rosemary. Thanks for asking and for your prayers. We are hanging in right now. I complete what I hope is the last of my testing this coming Monday. I am having a chest CT and a pulmonary function test, plus some more blood work I think. Then hopefully I will know if I qualify as a donor or not. My husband's GFR has been relatively stable so that buys us time to get everything lined up.

@fauneconner, I am so happy that your husband's condition is relatively stable. That also makes it easier (is that possible?) for you during this already stressful situation.
I hope that your tests provide the answers that you desire. Your choice of words, "Hanging in" are a perfect description. I needed both a liver and a kidney, and I clearly understand the "hanging in" state of mind.
Is the transplant center doing the tests? Did you get any indication of how long until you will know anything about qualifying?
Rosemary
