Scoville, that is wonderful. Thank you for letting us share in it!

My son in law is on his second transplanted kidney. Like your mother he wouldn't be alive today without them, and also like your mother his quality of life is high again. He is very active, runs, has lots of energy.

His first transplant was from a deceased man in Tennessee; his second is from a then-26 year old friend. She is also doing very well.

In his case, the reason his first transplant gave out after 11 years was that his original disease eventually successfully overwhelmed the transplant. He is still only 42.

May your mother and her whole family long enjoy one of the miracles of medicine!
