Kidney transplant for Daniel Westling

Crown Princess Victoria's fiancé Daniel Westling today had a kidney transplant at Karolinska sjukhuset in Solna outside Stockholm. According to the Swedish royal court the need for a transplant had been known for a long time and the reason for the surgery was "a congenital but not inherited disease causing impaired renal function". The donor was Daniel Westling's father, Olle Westling, and according to the Palace both are doing well. Crown Princess Victoria is meanwhile on a trip to Greenland with Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Prince Frederik.
