I had absolutely no idea!  This show is brilliant, and it would never have occurred to me that Haley was so ill.  I wonder why it took so long for her to be transplanted?  What do you think the doctors were waiting for?  It just seems like she's been suffering needlessly for so long.  Typical....they tell you only bits of the story.

Anyway, I'll be eager for next season of Modern Family!  I guess CKD and dialysis doesn't really fit into a comedy. ::)

It doesn't, but wouldn't it be lovely to get a (however brief) realistic take on it, rather than a shoddy Desperate Housewives take on it! 

That's so amazing ... I too never would have guessed she was ill.  Bless her.  (And her dad.)

I wonder if she ever had to do dialysis. Seems like the doctors were waiting till the last minute...transplant before she had to go on dialysis.
