Gospel singer praising God after successful kidney match

A message on his website revealed Michael Combs had been discharged from hospital in North Carolina and was now "at home enjoying some home-cooked food and reading all the cards he received from friends and family".

The statement also said: "Most of all, Michael and Denise are grateful to their Lord that walked with them every step of this journey.

"They have seen God's handiwork in every little detail. The way all the events transpired is just mind-blowing. But that's our GOD!"

The performer was put onto a transplant waiting list in December 2015 after being diagnosed with Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease.

Despite an appeal on social media a compatible match could not be found at first, with doctors considering Combs a "highly sensitized patient" because of a liver transplant he underwent 25 years ago.

On 8th January, Michael was contacted by Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem and offered a kidney from someone who had recently died.

The statement on his website went on to say: "After a six-hour surgery that went great, it seemed like another miracle when as soon as the kidney touched Michael's body it 'woke up' and starting working."

"Please remember the family of the deceased in prayer. They may never know who all benefited from organ donation, but we will surely never forget!"
