pam Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hello , My name is Pam and you might have read some of my posts here over the years. I´ve been too busy to contribute lately because my husband is very ill. We live in Nosara on the Nicoya Peninsula. He has ESRD , End Stage Renal Disease , or kidney disease. He has an excellant nephrologist at Hospital Clinica Biblica who has cared for him for over a year but the doctor says he now desperately needs a kidney because he had a rare and violent reaction to dialysis in the hospital. The nephrologist has informed us that foreigners stand little to no chance of receiving a donor from the list here in CR because of course Ticos are their priority.His nephrologist at Biblica is educated in the states , speaks fluent English and performs kidney transplants here at Biblica. Biblica is accredited in the states and having spent alot of time here over the last year and a half I can say with certainty that the hospital and staff are imppecably 1st World and competant. Our health insurance policy with INS ( not the CAJA which we have but prefer not to use ) covers expenses for both doner and recipient. If anyone is interested or knows anyone who might be interested in donating a kidney we would be profoundly grateful to hear from you. You can private message me on the forum and I´ll give you my email address and any and all information you need. Thank you for reading this , Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you everyone for the kind words and moral support. It´s amazing how much a sentence or a smile can mean when you´re overwhelmed and your world is upside down. People being kind and compassionate to people is what makes the world including mine go round ! Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler93 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Sorry things are not improving. Might consider returning to the States to investigate getting him stabilized and prehaps to an area in the country that the wait is not so long for a transplant. We are praying for a rapid recovery here in the States. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nel Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hi Pam: Don't know if you remember me from John H's forum but I remember you. I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's problems. Got to say, Biblica is a wonderful hospital. My hubby was in there a couple of years ago in ICU and his care was amazing. I will do some spells for you and send my prayers to the Goddess. Wishing you both well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
