FIND RACHEL A KIDNEY

Donation protected
My wife, Rachel Drees is in need of a kidney transplant. Here's a background of what she went through and is about to go through. She was a medical assistant for a local doctor's office and loved what she did and adored the doctors that she worked for. She was having some blood pressure issues and decided to go to the ER(blood pressure was 200/98) There she was hit with some devastating news. Her kidneys were not functioning properly. She was transported to Clermont Mercy and then to Christ hospital. She had a biopsy done that showed her kidneys were only functioning 10% and the reason she had kidney failure was due to NSAIDS. She was put on steroids in hope to kick start her kidneys to where they needed to be but a week later she was told the steroids did not work. She was put on a lot of medication and a week later returned to work(she was so happy about that!) While she was at work a month later, she started to have vision issues. She was taken to her eye doctor who then referred her to another eye doctor who specializes in the retina. There, she found out she had bleeding behind the eye and would need multiple surgeries to correct both eyes. The eye doctor also advised her nephrologist to start her ASAP on dialysis or else she would go blind. That day is when she would no longer be able to work. She was unable to drive, having blood pressure issues, and was extremely tired. She started dialysis on 3/6/2015 and is currently going every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. She had a meeting with Christ Hospital Transplant Team on 10/1 and is getting ready to start all the testing she has to go through as well as the donor(s)

I am asking everyone to share this post. I want to find my wife a kidney as well as raise money We will be going back and forth to Cincinnati, loss of wages due to myself taking off of work to run her to her appointments, pay medical bills, and to get her all her medications.
