My nephew needs a liver and a kidney transplant. He was trying to meet the criteria for Mayo Clinic to put him on the list for the transplants, before he could fulfill the requirements, he fell ill with sepsis, etc. He is suffering brain damage from the toxins, and the hospital has released him to hospice because Mayo has now denied him for the transplant because he has not been able to fulfill all the requirements and that his body is not healthy enough to be a candidate. We are wracking or brains on what to do next. He walks with a walker, and has some cognitive trouble, remembering things, etc., but otherwise he can talk and act normal. Can you please help us? We're desperate where to go next.View Thread
