So about two years ago, as a first medical student, I was assigned to be a "medbuddy" for a boy in the hospital with kidney failure. I became good friends and quite attached to this boy before he was discharged and had to come back here from his home two hours away four times a week for dialysis.

He got a new kidney yesterday. He's up on our floor now. He's sick with his post-operative status and all, but he's going to get better. Yes, he faces a long and difficult life, like any transplant patient, but it's SO much better than being on dialysis. I'm so happy for him.

Happy news!

Great news Mike! That transplant is going to do wonders for him and his family. It did for us when my step dad got is first one.

That's so great. I can't get news like that on CNN! I love hearing about the good in the world. Thanks for that dose of heartwarming.
