We have set up this page to help with Derrick's recovery next month. For those of you who haven't heard - Derrick's wife, Grace, has been having heath related issues due to a failed kidney. She finally got approved to be on the transplant list at the end of July. Derrick has been going through the process to see if he is a match for her. Although he is not a perfect match, they will be exchanging/swapping with other couples that did not match either. Grace will be going through her surgery on the 16th and Derrick will have his surgery the following week. He will be out for a month following his surgery. We would like to support Derrick and Grace as best as we can through this difficult time! “Donating a kidney is an amazing gift from one person to another and can transform both the donor’s and recipient’s lives,” said Ty Dunn, MD, MS, transplant surgeon, surgical director of the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin kidney and pancreas transplant programs and MCW faculty member. “It weighs heavily on us to make the living donor’s experience as perfect as possible because unlike other surgeries, the goal of this operation isn’t to make them healthier or get them better. They are giving someone else the gift of life.”
