As a highschool athlete, Jacob Bleil may very well be described because the type of participant who was at all times going to discover a approach to win for his group.

Whether or not it was preventing for a rebound on the hardwood or blocking the dish to maintain a run from scoring on the diamond, the 2016 Edgewood graduate did no matter he was known as upon.

Practically 4 years after his highschool enjoying days are over, that attribute stays extra true than ever.

Coaches and teammates will say how Bleil made them higher gamers, however nobody might probably relate in the best way than Allison Rees.

Rees and Bleil had been classmates since center college earlier than each graduated in 2016. Bleil at all times knew she had a medical want — he simply by no means knew what it was, nor that he might ever be the one that would fulfill that want.

“I knew she had issues,” he stated. “I simply didn’t know precisely what it was.”

It was her kidneys.

Rees had been identified in 2015 with granulomatosis with polyangiitis — a uncommon autoimmune illness that precipitated her kidneys to close down.

Even with the illness, she performed volleyball and ran observe for Edgewood. After commencement, although, the situation started to impose its will on her.

She placed on maintain on intentions of going to Akron for faculty and making different plans. 

“I used to be not capable of care for myself,” Rees stated. “I couldn’t go away to varsity, it wasn’t definitely worth the threat. I stayed in Ashtabula till issues settled down.”

Caring for herself meant spending three and a half hours a day at dialysis thrice every week.

It additionally meant not having the ability to reside the lifetime of a typical girl in her early 20s or having the ability to go after the issues in life she wished most.

“At that time my kidneys weren’t functioning in any respect,” Rees stated. “I used to be not residing the perfect life. Dialysis was preserving me alive, but it surely was additionally taking its toll on me. Dialysis long run may be very dangerous for the physique.

“I used to be getting very involved as a result of the physique can solely take a lot. I knew I wanted a transplant, however on the time I used to be not going to let it have an effect on how I used to be residing. I used to be nonetheless making an attempt to do all the things I wished to do.`

By the autumn of 2017, she enrolled in lessons at Kent State Ashtabula. Due to her therapy schedule, she might solely take lessons two days every week. Rees was there sufficient although to reconnect with an outdated pal.

Rees had been ready for a donor match to come back alongside since November 2016. Because it turned out, she didn’t should look far to seek out one.

Edgewood principal Casey Billington instructed Bleil get himself examined to see if he could be an eligible match.

Rees’ situation put quite a lot of restrictions and pointers on who would qualify as an eligible donor.

Nonetheless, in the summertime of 2019, Bleil took a visit to the Cleveland Clinic to get himself examined. A couple of weeks after that, he obtained the decision to come back again for extra testing.

By September, the medical doctors confirmed what turned out to be great information for his pal Rees.

“Discovered we have been a match,” Bleil stated. “After that, we had some extra exams finished and located we might transfer ahead. We had some good conversations. At my age, they ask you some very tough inquiries to be sure you know what you’re doing.”

Bleil knew, however he saved it a secret from Rees your complete time.

Lastly final winter, over a cup of espresso, he slipped her a card.

“He stated he had a Christmas present for me that had been on backorder.” Rees stated. “He was establishing a desk and he instructed me to learn the cardboard first. On the backside of the cardboard I learn, ‘I hope you’re free Feb. 13 as a result of I’m a match.’ I simply began crying, I didn’t know what to say. I used to be smiling, I used to be crying, I used to be a multitude.”

The surgical procedure went off as scheduled on the Cleveland Clinic Feb. 13. The donor and the recipient have been capable of see one another virtually proper as much as the time they have been taken into surgical procedure.

“Individuals at all times ask me if I used to be nervous,” Bleil stated of the moments main as much as his kidney being extracted. “I can fortunately say that every one the best way to them rolling me in for surgical procedure, which is one thing I’ll always remember.

“I used to be completely content material understanding that no matter was to occur was in God’s plan. There was no approach, regardless of how a lot I frightened, all I might do is pray about it.”

For individuals who coached Bleil in highschool, his act of sacrifice to assist one other was typical of what they’d anticipate out of him as a participant.

“I talked to him somewhat earlier than he did and I talked to him afterwards,” Edgewood basketball coach John Bowler stated. “It doesn’t shock me. He’s a high quality younger man and he was a high quality scholar and participant.

“He was a type of gamers that hustled greater than anyone, that attempted tougher than anyone and was not frightened about scoring factors, so it doesn’t shock me. He’s that type of individual.”

Invoice Lipps, who coached baseball for years at Edgewood earlier than shifting to Conneaut in the identical capability, stated the information of what his former catcher was doing despatched him right into a second of self reflection.

“Once I heard about it, all I might suppose was ‘Wow'” Lipps stated. “I feel that’s superb and I questioned: May I do this? I don’t know.”

The process was successful and each Bleil and Rees recovered in a well timed method.

“The primary two nights have been tough,” Bleil stated. “Since then I’ve been effective, I used to be capable of return to work inside two weeks and began operating and figuring out once more after 5 weeks.”

For Rees, the restoration took longer as was anticipated, however the life she has now could be evening and day from the one she had earlier than the process.

She is now enrolled as a full-time scholar at Kent Ashtabula and dealing in the direction of a level in english. Greater than that, although, she will take pleasure in so many little issues in life she by no means might along with her situation.

Issues like not having to fret about fluid consumption, which was restricted to 32 ounces a day previous to the transplant.

With the brand new kidney, Rees now has extra vitality and might do issues like train and work round the home.

“It is life altering,” she stated, breaking into tears. “What he did for me, he saved my life. You’ll be able to’t reside on dialysis endlessly. I can’t thank him sufficient.”

Rees added she hopes this raises consciousness for folks to be examined to see if they could be a donor and a residing donor makes an enormous distinction for a transplant affected person.

“It might change somebody’s life and will even reserve it,” she stated.

Bleil stated seeing the change in her life is thanks sufficient.

“It’s positively humbling, that’s for certain,” Bleil stated. “I speak to Allison virtually on a regular basis, and regardless that it’s taken her for much longer to get well, it’s superior to know that she doesn’t have to return to dialysis and simply understanding that her high quality of life is so significantly better, that’s what it was all about.”

For Lipps, it was merely nearly him doing what he needed to do for somebody on his group to win.

“Jake was gonna win for her,” he stated. “This younger woman wanted a kidney and Jake was going to discover a approach to win for her. That’s Jake.”
