pcassist Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Some of you on the OWTB forum are aware Nathan (Nobby my youngest son) has been quite poorly for the last year, he suffered total kidney failure last July. A couple of months back Matthew (Limpetlad my eldest son) made the decision (after numerous clinical tests) he was going to donate one of his kidney's to his younger brother. They've both been admitted today to the MRI and the operation is tomorrow morning. On behalf of our family (all ardent Latics fanatics) I want to say a big thank you to Matthew for helping his little brother out. Ian G.

fleetwood Blue Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Best wishes from me, hope everything is back to normal very soon for you all. My brother is on the Kidney transplant list but sadly with us having different fathers i was not a compatable donor. Your eldest son is very brave and gets a great deal of respect from all of us for doing this for his younger brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
