SEARCHING FOR A KIDNEY

For some, getting a healthy kidney can happen overnight, but for others, it can take months or years. One of the toughest parts for the family is waiting for a suitable organ. According to the National Kidney Foundation, once you are added to the national organ transplant waiting list, you may receive an organ fairly quickly, or you may wait many years. The average wait time can be 3-5 years. Hopefully, Dixon and his family won't have to wait that long.
