Feb. 28 began out as a standard Sunday morning for Seaford resident Tyler Donohue and his household. His mother and father, Peter and Katherine, had been making ready for a trip in Connecticut the next weekend, and Tyler, 25, was mapping out the street journey route for his mother and father.

Instantly, in entrance of his 12-year-old sister Annie, Tyler dropped to the kitchen flooring and had a seizure. “We had no clue what was incorrect,” Katherine, an aide within the Seaford Faculty District, stated. “We had been in shock.”

Tyler was rushed to Nassau College Medical Heart in East Meadow. After medical doctors carried out blood work, they informed him that he was in renal failure, and had solely three % to five % of regular kidney perform. He was placed on dialysis, underwent a biopsy and ended up in intensive care with inner bleeding in his proper kidney as a result of his hemoglobin was dropping to crucial ranges. He recovered after receiving 9 blood transfusions over the course of about two weeks.

When the outcomes of the biopsy got here again a few week later, Tyler was recognized with anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic autoantibody vasculitis MPO, a uncommon autoimmune illness of the small blood vessels that destroys the kidneys, lungs and sinuses. In Tyler’s case, solely his kidneys had been affected.

“It simply got here out of the blue,” Katherine stated. “He had no signs beforehand — no ache, no discomfort.”

Tyler attended Nassau BOCES’ Joseph M. Barry Profession & Technical Training Heart in Westbury, turned an Eagle Scout and graduated from Seaford Excessive Faculty in 2015. In highschool he performed junior varsity soccer and served as the highschool mascot at Homecoming. For 2 years earlier than the pandemic hit, Tyler, now 26, labored instead cleaner within the district, however had to surrender the job due to the pandemic.

He started chemotherapy at NUMC on March 12. After about three and a half weeks within the hospital and two chemo remedies, he returned dwelling, the place he obtained two extra remedies. Then, medical doctors indicating that there was no proof of the autoimmune illness. With the situation in remission, Tyler and his household headed to the Northwell Well being Transplant Heart in Manhasset in early July, the place he underwent extra testing, like echocardiograms and EKG’s, in preparation for looking for a kidney donor. A variety of medical doctors agreed that he can be transplant candidate, he stated.

“However they did not inquire in regards to the Covid vaccine,” Tyler stated, telling the Herald that he selected to not be vaccinated as a result of he had considerations in regards to the security of the vaccine for immunocompromised folks like him.

This led to a different complication: Northwell officers stated they may not transfer ahead with the donor search at their facility if he was unvaccinated. Northwell just lately mandated the vaccines for its workers — over 76,000 in all — at 23 native hospitals and different outpatient amenities.

Requested how he felt about switching to a brand new facility, Tyler stated, “There’s a number of uncertainty, to be sincere with you. When this all occurred at first, I had no thought the place to start out. Neither did my mother and father. It hit me and my of us like a ton of bricks.”

However the household is transferring ahead. Tyler had his first digital appointment at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Heart this month, he has an in-person analysis scheduled for mid-October, and he believes he shall be eligible for a kidney transplant in coming months. He’s looking for a donor that has blood sort O.

Within the meantime, he’s on autoimmune suppressants to maintain the vasculitis at bay, and undergoes dialysis thrice per week. “It’s been quite a bit to soak up,” he stated. “It’s fairly surreal, from how briskly each single side of my life has modified so shortly.”

Longtime household buddy Debbie Chapman, of Oceanside, who grew up in East Meadow with Katherine Donohue, stated she was shocked when she heard about Tyler’s scenario. “You don’t assume anyone so younger goes to want a kidney transplant,” Chapman stated. “For all intents and functions, he was comparatively wholesome.”

Chapman described Tyler as an “superb younger man.” “He’s considerate, he’s type, he is aware of quite a bit about a number of issues, and readily shares that info with you,” she stated with amusing. “He’s actually attempting to hold in there and have a optimistic outlook by this entire factor.

Chapman stated she applauded the Donohues’ perseverance. “Kathy amazes me,” she stated of Tyler’s mom. “It’s a relentless battle, a relentless problem to cope with all these totally different medical doctors and these totally different methods, and she or he’s been capable of muddle by all of that. The place different mother and father would possibly simply throw within the towel, she has been his champion — as she has been since he was little, for a lot of issues in his life.”

“It’s been a seven-month journey,” Katherine stated. “You by no means notice in a second how your life can change.”

The household’s aim? A kidney transplant for Tyler by December. “It’s an extended shot,” he stated, “however I believe we are able to pull it off.”
