Sam donated her kidney to her husband Simon on the 7th July this year. It was an AOB incompatible transplant which means that Simon had to undergo a treatment called plasma exchange to remove any antibodies from his blood that might try and attack Sam's kidney which has a different blood type. It's literally amazing how much medicine has advanaced and how these kind of transplants can be successful nowadays.
Simon's transplant was a success and he looks and feels great. I had a really nice chat with them over a cuppa and they're both really lovely people.
Here's some photos from the day...
