My 'mum-in-law' is very ill.
My prayers go out to you and your mother in law. I donated a kidney to my mother October 2005. Did not want her to have to go through dialysis. She is doing pretty good. I am fine. I live as normally as I ever have......they did it laproscopically, so it would be a speedy recovery for you, if you are a match. The first thing they will do is see if you have the same blood type, then they would go from there........assure her.........there really isnt much of a risk to you, and you will be up and about in no time at all!
What a wonderful gift to give to her if she will accept it.
