His spouse Kim needed to offer him certainly one of hers proper earlier than Christmas of 2020, however Yokoyama resisted primarily based on his understanding that the surgical procedure will be more durable on the donor than the recipient, and he did not need his spouse to come back to hurt.

Lastly, on the night time earlier than Christmas of 2020, got here the best reward of all. The household of an area organ donor by the title of Tammy had contacted the transplant middle, and her kidney was a match for Yokoyama.

The surgical procedure passed off throughout covid restrictions at 2:00 within the morning on Christmas Day, 2020, and Yokoyama lastly began to get better.

The Yokoyamas requested to satisfy the donor household, they usually have since turn into associates, with a bit of their liked one nonetheless alive within the physician.
