Visitors policy for transplant caregivers at Mayo Clinic

@srcroll1
This is a question that you will need to discuss with the hospital where the transplant will occur. In the best of times and during this pandemic each hospital has its rules and regulations for the safety and health of patients.
Even for non transplant patients there are restrictions for visitors in ICU.
Is your husband current on an active transplant waiting list?

This would be for Mayo Jacksonville Florida
He is pre transplant not listed yet but listed at another hospital..we are transferring

@srcroll1, My liver and kidney transplant was 12 years ago at Mayo MN. My husband was able to be with at the hospital after I got my call. He did spend a lot of the time outside the room because of the busy pro-op activities. He waited in the surgery waiting area during my surgery and was kept updated as the surgery proceeded. He did get to visit me briefly after I was transferred to the post op area. Next day he was with me and I was transferred to my patient room. This was before the Covid restrictions, and for a liver/kidney and not a lung transplant.

I have collected some links that I want to share with you that give information about lung transplant at Mayo.

@srcroll1 Here is the current visitor policy for Mayo-Jacksonville. You can always call Mayo directly for specific answers. Best wishes going forward.

@srcroll1, It has been a couple of months since you posted. How are you and your husband? Has he been able to transfer to another hospital for his pre-transplant treatment?
