Still Waiting

As of today, Samuel has accumulated 600 days on the waiting list. There have been no offers of a kidney from the organ bank. It seems Samuel has developed a significant number of antibodies which makes him incompatible with a large percentage of the population. We have recently had three wonderful people step forward to donate. Sadly, because of these antibodies that Samuel has developed, he can't receive a kidney from any of the three. The transplant team is beginning to explore other options.
