MADISON, Wis. — Two families are going through a “paired exchange” organ transplant that is only the second of its kind at University of Wisconsin-Madison Hospital.
In a paired exchange, one family donates an organ to another family, and, in return, that family donates one of their organs to help the first family.
Clarence Delwiche, of Janesville, and Michael Pasco, of Lake Linden, Mich., both spend four hours a day, three days a week on dialysis.
