water the organ.. s there any hospitals near u..?u can go and ask the staff my friend..peace..idk..

Any tips for taking care of someone who has had a transplanted organ?

I would think that the caregiver would get instructions from the person's medical professional on how to care for them.

did ya try duck tape ?
that stuff is good on about anything : )

I had to get rid of my cats because.... he can catch an infection from them...?

if you don't mind my saying so. the best advice you can get is to ask the doctors who performed surgery. even more so because a successful transplant depends on the body accepting a foreign object that has been grafted to them. however high the compatibility rate was.
I just looked at your profile and see that you are here in the states.
when you have any kind of surgery ir hospital stay, the medical team gives you a very specific set of instructions to follow. this is your best bet, rather than to follow anything we can tell you here. as our ignorance of the situation could jeopardize the transplantee.

Makes sense. His body is taking on a new organ. That is a big chance of infection from any animal.

What dreamerana said is true. There are instructions when he is discharged.

all I can say is I wish for the best.
peace

or i could gather as much information as i can... from EVERY SOURCE....

the only way i found out about the cats was from a friend who's husband has a transplant... i asked an emt buddy, als want to talk with his mother..

Standard Precautions
Start being OCD about hand washing.

.... check....

Are you guys serious? What kind of jokers are ya'll? I'm a former ICU registered nurse...there are some basic rules for any organ transplant recipient such as strict adherence to minimizing risk of infection...minimize activities in large crowds, stores, movies, etc..until they are fully recovered. Wash your hands well and frequently with warm soapy water...it's the number one way to prevent colds, viruses, bacterial infections of all kinds...practice good personal hygiene...caretaker and patient. Depending on the specific organ there are further details...diet, drugs, nutrition, positive healthy lifestyle, spiritual and social support from your faith, family, friends. If I knew more info. May be able to assist more. If in doubt, CALL your health care professional. Signs of problems would include fever, chills, change in appetite, change in activity or energy, any change from the norm should be addressed right away...good luck in your endeavors and God bless compassionate caregivers. Look online to a reputable source, Mayo Clinic website is great.
