Kidney transplant...
My brother goes for dialysis about 3 times a week. When he travels which happens several times a year, he must find a dialysis center in the location where he visits. He's been on a list for kidney transplant a few years now. I usually talk to him every other week and it's been a month so I left a message. His return call said a hospital 70 miles away contacted him at 2am. They found a donor and surgery was scheduled at 6am.Four days in the hospital, extreme pain, but he's got a working kidney and no longer needs dialysis. He's home recuperating and doing well.
I usually visit him once a year before the winter/holiday season. This year I'll make plans sooner. Next month... gotta get busy!

Your brother will be particularly vulnerable while his medications are being stabilised.
