My son had his first kidney transplant when he was only 10 years old and I, his mother gave him her kidney. The kidney last 18 years and then my son was eligible to have his second one from his Dad. How blessed we both matched him and Dad's kidney last 15 years and now he is on his third kidney transplant that he got from a cadaver. He is doing ok but his issues with his own bladder and had to have a permanent catheter put in just under his belly button and have it changed one a month by our local urologist. He works part time and also is going back to school but he is having troubles getting on medical insurance that will cover the doctors at the Mayo Clinic and also some of his anti rejection medicines. Sure hope we can find someone who has this same problem finding adequate insurance that covers all the needs to be cover with the transplant medicines and doctors. We live in Nebraska and doctor still in Minnesota.
