Ed describes why he needs a Kidney:
Dialysis keeps me alive and I am extremely thankful. However, it restricts my ability to live a full life. Travel is difficult. I get tired on dialysis days. Liquid intake is restricted to around 40 ounces per day. Getting a kidney would provide me an additional 15 hours a week and remove the pain of the big needles three times a week.
From the McCusker’s page on the National Kidney Registry:
In February 2020 I took an emergency trip to Bryn Mawr hospital. My organs were failing. After a week in the hospital I was released and started dialysis at Fresenius Kidney Care. Treatments are three days a week at five am, each treatment is about four hours. This process keeps me alive and able to work and enjoy life with my family. My diagnosis is end stage renal kidney failure. The best long term solution is a kidney transplant.
I am approved by the University of Pennsylvania for a transplant and I am accepted into their program. Friends and family have been tested as donors. However, we have not found a suitable donor. This is a tremendous ask, but I need to ask. Can you please check our the donor program and consider getting tested?
