I've never heard of an adult being given children's/babies' kidneys before, is that normal practice wouldn't a child or baby be better off with them? you're right it is really sad, my daughter is 12 mths next mths Can't imagine it. my friends boy is 14 mths & has been told he'll need Kidney transplant in near future
How have you dealt with having 6 i calls & nothing coming of them?Do you thinK you'll come off the ECD list then if Madison ?When will you know ? good Luck , x
I'm surprised you didn't meet the transplant neph. When I went to Loyola, Northwestern, and UIC all meetings had the transplant doctor there. Rush had a doctor do a presentation at my dialysis unit tho. I agree with the Madison doctor about you shouldn't be on the ECD list and glad you learned something from the trip. Good Luck with that center MooseMom.
You have to remember that dialysis as delivered here in the US is close to barbaric. We're not civilized like the rest of the developed world.
Why are we so married to this thrice weekly template? It's because of money. And THAT is the barbaric part.
