Thank you for being a caregiver. You need support too. See if there are social agencies or church groups that can give you a little time off. Sounds like you need it. To your question there are so many factors on waiting time beyond your control but things you can do is register your husband in different areas and make his need public. Talk this over with his doctor as to how areas are separated in your state and nearby states. Contact Every one close to you or try different forms of media to get his story out there. Good luck to your family and keep us posted.

Try to reach out any way you can. Facebook, friends, family. If a person isn’t a match for your husband they might be a match for someone else who has a person willing to donate but not a match for them but would be for you. I’ve read stories of people getting shirts made that say “Im in need of a transplant. If you would be willing to be tested please call ————. Give them a number for your husbands transplant team or nephrologist. Best wishes for a match happening quickly. Have. You thought of being tested.
