Tanya Status Update…
OK Folks,
Tanya has decided to do the kidney Transplant here in Tulsa at St. Francis Hospital. She is trying to eliminate going on dialysis and would like to have a live donor. Unfortunately her family has a history of kidney issues so her family is not good candidates for being a donor. I volunteered immediately but I am a type A + and she can only take a B or O + or -.
We had a Kidney transplant Pre-Op surgery consult today at St, Francis Hospital and all went well.
If anyone is interested in being a Kidney Donor you can contact Teri Roberts at St. Francis 918-502-3900. Teri is the Transplant Coordinator Supervisor and said to ask for her or Kara. Please remember that she can only take a kidney from a type B or O blood type doesn’t matter if it you are B+ or - or O+ or -.
We are praying that the right person will come forward soon and donate the kidney that God intends her to have.
Just so you know the donor surgery today is Laparoscopic less intrusive than of the past, and the cost is paid for by Tanya’s insurance.
Thanks again for all your continued prayers and support!
