Americans should remain confident in the effectiveness and preeminence of the U.S. transplant system. One truth remains unchanged: Every donor has the power to transform multiple lives.

Happy tears alert! IV is out and Georgia is approved for discharge. Her dad has been amazing, being the only family member allowed at the hospital to help G navigate through all of the final appointments...receiving a kidney transplant in the middle of a pandemic is no joke but she did it!! We are so happy and grateful she is on her way home 🍑💚

This just in; both patients are out of surgery and doing great. Georgia’s surgeon said the kidney is already “pinking” up and making urine! Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and righteous good vibes.

We’re all scheduled to ring in 2021 with a new kidney for our Georgia. Barring any cancellations due to COVID-19 bed capacity issues at University Hospital San Antonio, transplant date is set for 1/19/2021. Thanks everyone for all of your likes, shares, good thoughts and prayers. Happy New Year to all with love ~ The Eighmy’s 💚🍑

💚 🍑As Georgia’s mom, I have begun the testing to hopefully become the living kidney donor for our girl. I’m not going to lie it’s a little invasive and a tiring process but as my sister and Georgie’s favorite aunt Shelley said “keep your eye on the prize” and that’s exactly what I’m doing. I’m not approved quite yet so we are asking y’all to please keep liking and sharing G’s page. Did you also know the donor’s medical costs are covered under the recipient? I’ve learned so much through this process and our transplant team has been awesome. Here’s our beautiful girl taking a little break at work...her hard work, bravery and tenacity amazes me every day.

💚🍑 Fun fact! Did you know people can live normal lives with only one kidney. As long as the donor is evaluated thoroughly and cleared for donation, he or she can lead a normal life after the surgery. When the kidney is removed, the single normal kidney will increase in size to compensate for the loss of the donated kidney! Here’s our girl enjoying the last days of summer in the pool
