Scots dad saves son's life after donating kidney following horror diagnosis
A West Lothian dad saved his son's life by donating his kidney after he received an incurable diagnosis.
James, 57, a Manufacturer at a packaging company, said: “Craig and I are really close. We have worked together for many years, and I just wanted to give Craig his life back. I didn’t think twice about it and I think any father would want to do that for their child.” After visiting his GP, Craig was swiftly admitted to St John’s Hospital in Livingston with extremely high blood pressure as he was at risk of having a stroke.
James was identified as the optimal donor and in 2023, Craig and his dad underwent the lifesaving kidney transplant. James said: “He looked significantly healthier after the surgery – his face just lit up. Before the operation, his kidneys were functioning at 8% and after one day post-surgery, his kidneys were up at 21%, it was amazing. Seeing him healthy and happy was the greatest reward any father could ask for.”
