Erica's Got a Brand New Kidney

On behalf of the transplant selection committee, and the Renal Transplant Program at Piedmont Hospital You have been accepted into our program. Once insurance approval is obtained, you will be notified by another letter of your actual listing. If you have potential living donors, they can start their evaluation by calling Leanne Whitehead RN at 404 605 4605. This page will be the best resource to follow updates and progress for my future prospects with transplant. Even with living donor possibilities there is still the prospect of an 2-5 year wait until the transplant can be done. Please follow this page for update and information on my progress. The first step of coarse and best chance for a 4th transplant is with living donor. As the organ recipient I am not aloud to have any participation in the first step. Possible donors must call 404 605 4605 and request to be tested as a match. A great resource for information on the donation process is www.unos.org While this initial stage of testing is commencing I will also be creating my financial plan for treatment post transplant. So lets keep our fingers crossed! You know what they say. Fourth times the charm:) I also want to take a moment to thank my Uncle John and my sister Angie as my previous donors. I hope to date I have done you proud using the gift you gave me to have an amazing an full life.
