On Tuesday we received this news and were told to get the word out in any way we can. Our son Brian's kidney function is at 16% but you wouldn't tell that by looking at him. The doctor said that his age is on his side at this time and he is in otherwise good health. The waiting list for a donor is now at 6-7 yrs. They have started this program that help get donors quicker. We become part of Brian's team and get the word out there for a donor. There is a lot of information on this but too much to list here so if someone is willing to become a donor they can give me a call or email and I will get with them. Brian's kidney transplant has a much higher success rate if he hasn't been on dialysis. We are praying that he can hang in there until we get a donor. We are going to UC Hospital on Nov.25 for a clinic that they have set up for anyone who can donate. We will get a bus if we have too!!! If they can't make that date then we have other options. The siblings can't give because the disease is genetic and has a higher rate to go into the new kidney.
Thank you!

(A previous email) Many of you have seen on the RACK prayer list to pray for someone who is having a kidney biopsy. That someone was our son Brian Goubeaux. Today we found out that Brian needs a kidney transplant and due to the type of disease he has his siblings are not an option. So we are getting the word out as much as possible. We realize that this is a priceless gift that anyone could give and we are humbly begging for people to step forward and possibly be his donor. If you could help spread the word we would greatly appreciate it. If you would like to be a donor please send me an email at cdgoubeaux5@hotmail.com or call 937-526-3834 and I can give you more information. We need to have a possible list by November 17th, so we can get back with U.C. Hospital. Please keep Brian and Jenny in your prayers. They have 3 children ages 6,4, and 1. Thank you!
Thank you!
