Title: introducing myself
Post by: Mom of Marcus on January 20, 2008, 05:35:41 PM: Hi,
I am not even sure I am doing this the right way, but was so glad to find this website. I am the mother of 19 year old young man on home hemodialysis using NxStage and PureFlow. Marcus has had 3 transplants, all have failed. He is doing well on the NxStage. There are days that I want to throw it all out the window and then use a hammer on it....but it is one way I can keep working and keep health insurance for him. Looking forward to seeing comments from others.

It sounds like Marcus has had a rough time and I am sure it has been hard as his mother to watch him go through so much. We are here for both of you. Looking forward to learning more about Marcus and you. :grouphug;

I know the feeling about the frustrations of "the machine" lol, but i have to admit it beats going in-center :) I hope to hear from you (and hopefully Marcus too). :waving; Take care and remember, you are not alone, we are here for you too. :grouphug;
