McAllen teacher dies after donating kidney to her mother | mcallen, donating, kidney - TheMonitor.com

I have posted the link for the article here.  One thing to note: the article says the donor underwent a kidney transplant, when she actually underwent a nephrectomy (removal of her kidney) so that it could be transplanted into her mother.  As a living kidney donor, I have to wonder how such a thing could have happened.  Although death of a donor is very rare,  how very sad for this whole family!  Would like to know more about what actually happened to this woman . . .
