Mother Donates Kidney for Gordon Gillesby Transplant
Gordon Gillesby, son of Mr and Mrs Robert Gillesby of Washington, is slated for a second kidney transplant Friday November 17. Doctors selected a kidney from his mother Joy Gillesby after tests showed favorable blood type and factors among three offers. Two uncles offered to undergo the procedure. Previous transplant using Mr Gillesby’s kidney was unsuccessful due to complications. Grandfather George Gillesby, now assisting at the Washington YMCA, reported the family’s good spirits and Gordon and Robert’s signs of recovery. Gordon left the hospital for a few hours yesterday and urged support for church and school friends who sent cards and letters.
