@beckyjohnson I don't see why you wouldn't be able to switch from an altruistic donor to a named one, especially this early in the game.
Transplants are new to us but not to Mayo so I bet they just take the info given to them and run with it. If you add in new information, I'm sure they can figure out how to make it happen.

@mauraacro What an excellent point. Mayo has literally been doing transplants as long as I've been alive. It is safe to say I've learned a thing or few about life so I can only imagine what the cumulative transplant teams have learned. I put in a call to my coordinator today but my landline has been having "do not work" issues off & on for the past 2 weeks so they couldn't reach me. Cell service is practically useless in these woods. Ugh. Thanks for your thoughts.
