About Nathan...
 

Nathan was born with a condition called “prune belly syndrome,” a birth defect characterized by underdeveloped stomach muscles and sometimes issues with the urinary tract and kidneys.  Unfortunately for Nathan, his condition includes a problem with his kidney's.

In October, 2010, Nathan received a kidney from thirty-eight year old Chris Doing.  Chris  had read about Nathan's need and offered to become a donor for Nathan.

In the months following, Nathan and Chris were checked for compatibility and a successful transplant from Chris to Nathan took place.  Unfortunately, a few months after the transplant Nathan's creatine levels spiked indicating that his kidney was not functioning properly.  An ultrasound revealed that there was no blood flowing to Nathan's new kidney. The organ had twisted, choking off the blood supply.

Emergency surgery was performed to try to restore the blood supply, unfortunately blood supply was not restored and the following day Nathan's new kidney had to be removed.

Now Nathan is waiting for a new kidney.

If you would like to become a kidney donor for Nathan, to start the process you will first need information about your blood-type, this can easily be determined by your doctor.  Once you have that information it can then be sent to Children's Memorial Hospital, in Chicago via fax.  Children's Memorial Fax number is: (312) 227-9405.  Please be sure to include a cover-page that includes your name, contact information, and Nathan's name...
