The McKellars (Mom, Dad, brother Mark and his wife Andrea, along with Les) are my second family. Dad (a.k.a. Dann) has been looking for a kidney for a couple years now. He had his first transplant 13+ years ago and that kidney served him well, lasting longer than most expected. It's been a long and difficult wait with many, many prayers but now Mom McKellar sent out this note today:
"We just received confirmation that Leslie has been accepted by The Mayo Clinic as the donor!
"The original test revealed a health concern with Mayo's doubt of its accuracy. Follow-up test results showed Leslie in perfect health.
"Dann talked with Leslie's doctor at Mayo, who says he's confident Dann will be receiving a strong, healthy kidney with great potential for a successful transplant and better quality of life.
"To say we are incredibly happy, and grateful to Leslie, is an understatement.
"Many questions, and not many answers at this point. I'll keep you all updated on the progress, timing, etc.
"Thanks for your hopes & efforts to be the kidney donor, words of encouragement and your continued prayers. This is a miracle."
Now for transplant prayers for Les and Dad!
