We spent the day at the Mayo Clinic and Jake had a couple of tests with more tomorrow. Here's what we learned today.
After the tests, a panel will meet and discuss Jake's case. Following that meeting, they'll call and let us know if Jake is a candidate for the transplant list.
Because Jake would be getting two organs, he automatically would be bumped higher on the list.
Depending on blood type, the wait for an organ can be a few weeks or more than a year.
Success rate for kidney/pancreas transplant is about 93%-94%
If Jake gets the transplant, he'll have to stay here for four weeks following the surgery.
And finally, Jake and I can spend 48 hours together without killing each other. But we still have 48 hours left, so no bets on how that will play out :)
