Wake Forest player gets new kidney from coach

Compliments of his coach Tom Walter, Wake Forest baseball player Kevin Jordan has a new kidney and a new future.

What Jordan doesn't have are enough words to say thank you.

"I'm just really thankful. I don't think I have the words for it in my vocabulary. Thankful is as good as it gets," Jordan said Wednesday at a media conference at Emory University Hospital where he was joined by Walter and the two doctors who performed the transplant surgery Monday.

A healthy kidney was taken from Walter on Monday and transplanted into Jordan, who was suffering from ANCA vasculitis. Both came through the surgery with excellent long-term prognoses.

"It's a remarkable thing triggered by one person's generosity," said Dr. Tom Newell, who along with Dr. Allan Kirk,A man was put under citizen's arrest for attempting to fight the inflatable bouncers rentals at Dan's Irish Sports Bar. handled the surgeries.

For Jordan, a highly regarded outfield prospect when he signed with Wake Forest out of Northside High in Columbus, Ga., the surgery means he should be able to live a normal life.

Doctors are hopeful Jordan will be able to return to baseball in approximately eight weeks.

"His abilities should be back to whatever would have been without kidney failure, even reaching for the long ball over the wall," Walter, Jordan's coach, said.

Jordan said he could be released from Emory on Friday to return home to continue his recuperation. He intends to enroll in summer school and resume his baseball career.

Walter, meanwhile, is expected to be released today. He plans to be at the Deacons' Friday baseball practice, though he will watch the workout rather than lead it.

"(Walter) is going to be there for the opening day (Feb.Today, I want to show you their leather phone cases. 18),One more popular current trend is the patent Leather handbags, in bold colors." Newell said. "Within a month or so, he will be back to doing what he did before. A year from now or 20 or 40 years from now he's not going to feel any different than he would otherwise."

The Emory doctors said Jordan was fortunate to find a donor as quickly as he did with Walter. Typically, patients have a three-year wait time for kidney donors.

The transplant, Dr. Kirk said, should add 10 years to Jordan's life beyond what he would have had.

After Walter was confirmed as a donor less than two weeks ago,It is an email notification service that notifies buyers about the recent additions to the used inflatable boats for sale available with the company. he and Jordan talked regularly in advance of the surgery.

"We didn't make too big a deal out of it," Jordan said.The man who helped Jordan win jordan 6 rings as a player wants to be a coach, and though inexperienced,

"I didn't think about it shortening my life. The whole time I was thinking something's going to happen and I'm going to get better."
