Les & Jessie Kidney Transplant Help

**** We respectfully ask that you don’t share with Les’ Mom, Lorna Lisowski. They have not shared this journey with her because it would be entirely too stressful and worrisome to her. She loves with her whole heart and this would very hard for her ****

We wanted to start this site to provide updates on my sister, Jessie, and Les. Some of you may know the health journey Les has been through for the past year and a half.

Long story short: prostate cancer led to bladder dysfunction and removal which sadly led to kidney failure.

My mom and Les have been to so many doctors appointments, Les has had test after test, surgeries.. and my mom has done relentless research and planning. Driving so many miles to Grand Junction, Aurora, Denver. Missing work, and changing their entire lives.

As expected, Les made everyone laugh everywhere they went. And my mom took notes, asked questions and smiled :)

There has been defeating life changing news throughout this journey.

Well, the time has finally come for some wonderful life changing news!

The UCHealth organ transplant committee approved Les to be added to the kidney transplant list! This gave everyone some hope!

After rigorous testing, giving lots of blood, and filling out questionnaires, my sister has been approved to donate one of her kidneys to Les! Such an amazing blessing

Pre-op appointment is scheduled for January 27th.

Transplant Surgery is scheduled for February 6th.

Both will be in Aurora at the Anschutz Medical Campus.

They both have to stay with 30 minutes of the hospital during part of their recovery time. My sister for at least one week and Les for 30 days. So, Jessie, Les and my mom have found an Airbnb to take residence in for that time.

Please send prayers, good vibes and all things positive!
