CLEVELAND (AP) — A state lawmaker from northeast Ohio has been released from the hospital after donating
a kidney to his wife.
The (Willoughby) News-Herald (http://bit.ly/1lPIXgX ) reports that state Rep. Ron
Young, a Republican from Leroy Township,
was released from the hospital Tuesday after fighting complications from
the surgery.
Young was admitted to the hospital March 28 after
going through numerous tests that showed he was a donor match for his
wife Kathy, who had been on a dialysis machine.
Doctors performed
the surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. It was considered an immediate
success for Kathy Young, who was released Monday.
But Ron Young
had a second surgery a week ago after it was discovered that his small
intestine had been perforated during the procedure to extract his
kidney.
