WI Man Gets New Kidney From Brother 22 Years After Father's Donation

 

 

On the 22nd anniversary of the day he received the transplant of a kidney donated by his father, a Wisconsin man has received a second transplant of a kidney donated by his brother.

"What can you say?" asked Brian Kenyon, 35, of Oconomowoc, WI, who received the latest transplant at Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital in Milwaukee. "It's the biggest gift you can possibly get from someone -- a new life."

Kenyon's new kidney was donated by his brother Keith. Hiw father, David Kenyon, was the donor 22 years ago when the transplant took place in North Carolina.
