Any double donors out there: liver and kidney?

@lwilkey I don’t know which kidney my daughter donated (don’t remember). In regards to Paired Kidney Exchange Program I recall receiving literature and signing something regarding being interested in participating in the program. Sadly my quest for a living kidney donor has not yielded any viable results. The few nibbles there have been didn’t make it past the health history questions: too old, too obese, a history of some sort of rehab?, psychologically unfit? ..... and the usual person in an undeveloped country far away that wants to sell their kidney 😒. I have been looking since 2016 and haven’t made much progress. On the bright side my UNOS listing was changed to inactive because my GFR is now 26 and I am currently considered too healthy for transplant at this time. I (GFR) have bounced around from 14 - 42 over the past 5 years. I thank God for this, so your precious kidney won’t be going to me. The person who gets your kidney will be blessed. I pray blessings on you as well.

Well, I am happy to know that your GFR has improved-- that's awesome! And thank you for the prayers and the blessings; this has been a long road for my intended recipient and I and I am just hoping and praying that this surgery date sticks, as we have been in at least three other chains that have fallen apart for various reasons and our surgery date has changed four times (Jan 18, Mar 3, Mar 17, Mar 24, now it's Mar 25). Blessings on you! <3
