My husband was diagnosed with ESRD back in 1999. It was the first we knew he had a kidney problem and he was down to 25% then. Until 2006 he did very well but since then it has been 1 problem after another. His doctors call him a Miracle because he has pulled through several times when none expected him to.
I am in hopes of finding new inspirations to keep him going.

Dora the Explorer found us!   :yahoo;  I'm so glad!  You will find lots of support here.  Is your husband on dialysis yet or just having other problems in general. 

Stick with us and check back often.

Dora, you'll find lots of stories, jokes, bright ideas, and silly conversations mixed in with a lot of support and good information.  Hopefully, you'll find what you are looking for!
