Dominique’s Miracle (Microfiction)
Dominique is a twenty-eight-year-old teacher from Little Rock who has been waiting for a kidney for sixteen months.
Sixteen months . . .
Every day is a struggle for her. How much energy would she use explaining trigonometry to seventeen year olds? Who would be the first to see sweat pour from her fingertips at 1:15 PM?
Dialysis on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday . . . try not to die Saturday and Sunday. And then, Miranda happened.
She’s a match. The perfect match.
Soon, there’ll be no more waiting.

Oof! This is a very creative way to engage in an ethical discussion.

Having PKD myself, this also hits close to home for me. I hope the day it becomes necessary, is still far away.

A bittersweet victory isn’t it. Must give comfort to grieving families knowing that a life was saved, or more. Looking forward to reading more. 🤓

This was my cousin’s reality. She lived for fifteen years after her kidney transplant. And she LIVED! COVID ended up killing her two years ago.

I’m so sorry about that. 😦 Many in my family have had much success after transplant. It is hopeful but not something I particularly want to face. 🩵

I know a few people who have received and/or given a kidney. True lifesavers.
