We are still looking for a kidney. We'd be thrilled to find a volunteer living donor! Babygirl is blood type O positive, so she can get an O positive OR O negative kidney. You can find out your blood type by donating blood. If you're too squeamish to do that you are likely not good donor material. If you are too small to do that, your doctor could do it, or you could ask me to mail you the donor forms and our hospital will.
What criteria do a living donor need to meet? Under 35, preferably. Absolutely no personal history of High Blood Pressure or Diabetes, or any other disease that puts the donor's kidney function at risk. Body Mass Index under 30.
Babygirl is of Native American/Hispanic origin, but anybody of any race could be a match. We live in the northeast, so proximity is helpful but not absolutely necessary.
If you can't donate, then feel free to post the link to this blog on your facebook page. Feel free to put my baby on your church prayer list. If you'd like, I'd be happy to mail posters with Babygirls adorable face on them anywhere anyone would be willing to put them.
Thank all and any for your support.
