I'm usually hesitant to share too much about my son, Ripley, or his situation but our situation (US, WV/OH) changed last week. Ripley is about 18 months old and we've known since he was born that he would need a #KidneyTransplant once he was big enough. Until last week, our plan was for him to get one of mine. Unfortunately, I was disqualified, so we're on the hunt for a kidney! If you or someone you know would have any interest in being screened, you can visit https://ripley.love (1/2)
Three years later, y’all. It’s happening.
We’re in pre-op. The surgeon came one last time and we all had a good cry. I asked what we can know about the donor and she said right now not much but I can tell you that Ripley is an enormous comfort to their family right now and I wish I could give every kid a kidney like this one.
🙏
