Getting my son ready for transplant

[acertain]

Hi, I am new to this group. My 17 year old son will be submitted for transplant in May. Our prayer and hope is that I am his match. He is special needs so he is having some anxiousness but he is excited and ready to feel better. What things should I be working on the most to get ready for the transplant? Thanks in advance!

Hello, it doesn't matter if you aren't a match, he can still get a donated kidney transplant the same day you donate. It's called paired exchange. Please talk to your kidney transplant coordinator.

I am trying hard to find a donor for my fiance. He is a father of four, working professional and goes home to dialysis nightly. I am amazed by his stamina although the reality is he coughs and stresses out each morning. The sleepless nights are affecting his daytime overall feeling. But I call him a "focus warrior" because he is mind over matter with so many responsibilities. I wish I had half his toughness. At any rate, we have dreams, a beach wedding planned this summer and I sometimes feel helpless because finding a donor is hard. First time in my life I am literally trying to save a life and it's 200 percent worth it! Any brilliant ideas to get this donor?
