“In addition, we are pleased to report that the anonymous donor has also been discharged and is doing extremely well.”
Mr. Melnyk was discharged earlier this week, the statement said. His post-transplant recovery will require weekly follow-up with his transplant team and he has been transferred to a facility that will be providing him with daily rehabilitation services.
More than 500 people offered to be a donor for the billionaire owner following a public appeal by the team. Mr. Melnyk was suffering end-stage liver failure due to an undisclosed disease of the organ.
Doctors performed the transplant on May 19. Liver transplant recipients typically stay in hospital for up to two weeks, then take three to six months to recover fully.
