I dont know if sixteen year olds can give their kidney but I figured I would ask I thought maybe our ages being so close could be helpful.

We were at Presbyterian for a paired match for my husband, a few years ago; after many months we learned that I am not an acceptable donor. My husband has since received a kidney, Thank God. I know what you are living through, and send prayers.

In the long process of speaking to nurses at programs around the country, we learned a few things, one of which refers to the choices you mention that NYP offers you.

I am writing warn you of the extreme dangers to your daughter of an “incompatible match.” They are terribly risky, but sometimes the nurses and doctors will brush it off. In an incompatible ‘match’ they must make your daughter able to accept an incompatible kidney. To do so, they remove all her blood and cleanse it of antibodies so that she will not fight the incompatible kidney. While it can work, it is hard on the recipient. Yet, if it is the only option, it is worth it. But is sounds as if you may have better options.
All the best to you.
