a liver. He has been living with polycystic kidney and liver disease. He received a kidney transplant ten years ago from my sister. He has done very well with it. He is 54 years old.
Now he has an enlarged liver. The doctors estimate it weighs 35 pounds or so. So, he is looking to have his lver removed and receive a donation of a lobe of a liver from a live donor. It will not hurt the donor in the long run and it will regenerate itself over time.
The criteria for his donor would need to be a tall person since he is 6' 6" tall the doctor said he would do best with a large lobe. The person would also need to have O + blood.
So, if any of you know someone who would really like to donate a lobe of a liver to him he would experience a great improvement in his quality of life.
All of the expenses of the donor would be paid.
If you do not know any one then please put it out to the prayer networks to look for one for him.
Thanks to everyone,
Holly
