A chance encounter in a bathroom at work turned into a lifesaving kidney transplant chain for two coworkers at an Atlanta hospital.
Tia Wimbush, left, and Susan Ellis are coworkers who donated their kidneys to save their husbands' lives.
He was also put on dialysis immediately after diagnosis, treatments that would stretch for as long as five or six hours daily. "It was a burden being lifted knowing that they were both going to get back to a better quality of life," said Tia Wimbush.The transplants were scheduled for December but were postponed when Lance Ellis was hospitalized with complications from his acute kidney failure.
Susan Ellis and Rodney and Tia Wimbush pose together at a welcome back ceremony at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. After two successful transplants that stretched over the course of one day, the two couples recovered on the same hospital floor as each other, with rooms next to each other and just down the hall.
