We had Ripley's monthly visit with the #kidney docs today. Every month I joke that we won't be back next month because a kidney will become available and she let me know that they've been averaging one #KidneyDonation a month for the rest of the kids who get dialysis there. All deceased donors (this is why it's important to register!) but they've been able to take a kid off of dialysis every month since April, like clockwork. Just knocking that list down until we get to Ripley 😂

@rizwan that is very kind, thank you! The wait is definitely on the longer side here but Ripley gets a bit of priority from being a toddler. The way they explained it to us is that with children who begin dialysis before they are old enough for transplant, the “list” will say they have been waiting for a kidney since they started dialysis. For Ripley, that’s almost two years. But he has technically only been eligible for transplant since February.
