“It’s been laid on my heart that I have to do this for her. To extend her life. She won’t have to go to dialysis three times a week.' Once this teacher found out she was a match, she didn’t think twice to help her student's mom.
Five to 8 years: That’s how long it would take for Tracy Shearin-Drayton to get the new kidney she needed. Donor organs come along on a regular basis, her doctors told her, but not enough to match the number of people who need them. That was March 2018.
One of the major problems was that the lupus had damaged Tracy’s kidneys. More than half of people with lupus will have some kidney problems, typically within about 5 years after they first have symptoms of the disease. About 15%-20% of those people end up needing dialysis or a new kidney. “Anytime something is going on at home, I want the parents to tell me,” Pam says. “That way, I can give the kids that extra love or make sure the child is OK … that they’re not struggling.”In 2018, Tracy told friends and family that she would need a new kidney. She also put the word out that in a few months, her doctors would be able to start testing possible donors.
Once she found out she was a match, she didn’t think twice. She went straight to the hospital to tell Tracy, filming the moment when her friend learned she would be getting a new kidney.
