Fundraiser planned
for woman having
kidney transplant
Sheila Piper, Heppner,
is going through a five-
stage process for a kidney
transplant. She is currently
at the second stage of this
process, in which she re
cently met with her trans
plant nephrologist (kid
ney doctor specializing in
transplants) to identify the
appropriate laboratory and
diagnostic tests for her.
Sheila will eventually
have her transplant and will
need to stay in the hospital
in the critical care unit
approximately five days,
and then will return to the
transplant clinic three times
a week for follow-up care.
Because o f the frequent
visits, she will need to live
close to the hospital for
three months before be
ing transferred back to the
care of her original kidney
specialist for regular ongo
ing care.
The av erag e first-
year billed charges for a
transplant are more than
$650,000. While surgery
may be covered by health
insurance, pre-transplant
medical services and post
transplant maintenance are
often not covered, leav
ing patients and families
"
T
joi n
with huge out-of-pocket
expenses.
With that in m ind,
friends o f Sheila Piper
would like to invite com
munity members to a fun
draiser at the Lexington
Grange Craft Sale on Sat
urday and Sunday, Nov.
22-23, from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. A special table will
be set up with information
from Legacy Living Kidney
Donor. For any donation
made to Sheila’s fundraiser,
donors will be able to pick
a mini safety light that at
taches to a keychain (vari
ous colors to choose from).
A medical account also has
been set up at Bank of East
ern Oregon, and donations
made be made directly to
that account.
Kidney donors are al
ways needed, and Sheila
is looking for a match.
Anyone who is interested
in knowing more about
being tested as a donor can
contact www .legacyliv-
ingkidneydonor.org or call
503-413-7349. Donor in
formation will be available
at Sheila’s fundraiser table
at the Lexington Grange
