2 kidneys, 2 sisters

One donated a kidney to the other in 1985, which made medical history in Peoria.
"Of course you remember the first one better than you remember the next 999," says Dr. Beverly Ketel, the transplant surgeon who performed the area's first kidney transplant. "It's amazing how many people are still around who remember the first one."
