John Cunningham was driving when he suddenly began to feel strange.
Her father – a U.S. Marine and retired police officer – moved in with her to help look after her 16-year-old daughter, Viv, who has the same kidney condition..Jones was told she would soon need to start dialysis or get a transplant. On average, patients wait three to five years for a deceased donor kidney from the national transplant waiting list. About 13 people die every day waiting for a kidney transplant.
“I also discussed it with my kids and my husband and my grandkids,” said Hadfield, who has two children and five grandchildren. Although they were concerned about how the operation might impact Hadfield’s health, “they have been totally supportive the whole time,” she said. “How’s my girl?” she would often ask via text message. “Don’t you quit fighting on me. We’re going to do this.”
Although the transplant is not a cure for Jones’s polycystic kidney disease, “it does keep her off dialysis and it extends the length of her life,” said Tevar, explaining that “without this transplant, Molly didn’t have much of a functional life or a length of life.”Article content
