kidneys failed me. Baylor didn’t.”
When Aaron Wiley was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure, he had few options. “I could do dialysis at a hospital, do dialysis at home or do nothing and probably die,” he says. But at Baylor, Aaron learned that he was a candidate for a transplant. “My wife and I decided it was time to make a change—she became a donor.” After the transplant, Aaron says, “I got my energy back, my mind back, my family back. It’s like a new beginning.” As far as his wife, he says, “she gave me a kidney for Valentine’s Day. How am I gonna top that?”
