I'm going to be the support person for my BIL, who is having a kidney transplant soon. His wife is giving him one of her kidneys, so her sister will be her support person. If anyone has done this, what advice can you give me? I've been reading things online, but want to know exactly what to expect. I want to be able to help him the best I can. TIA

I don't have advice for you, but I want to give you props for doing this. I have family members who are transplant recipients, and being a support person can be a rough ride. I hope your BIL and his wife both have smooth sailing.  |

How generous of you! He will have good days and bad days.... His wife has a harder recovery, or so I have heard.
I wonder if the hospital has a class on what might be expected for the support persons? Maybe ask!

Was also supposed to go for a meeting there, but it hasn't happened yet. Thank you for responding!! |

That’s very nice of you. It’s awesome that his wife is a match. No advice to offer unfortunately.
