To all members,

We would like you all to welcome "kitkatz" as the new IHD Administrator. She joined IHD in March 2006 and has shown herself to be a very loyal member, as well as a hard working moderator since March 2007.

She is has been very supportive of other members of the forum and really understands what it's like to deal with dialysis.

Over the next few weeks she will be learning her new role here. Kitkatz will "approve" new members, ban members, and handle various "behind the scenes" duties.
If you have a problem feel free to contact kitkatz and she will handle it.
She will oversee the duties of the moderators and they will all work together to keep the forum running smoothly.

Thank you for all you do kitkatz, and welcome to your new position!

I am a caregiver to my wonderful husband,  He is 4p and started PD October 2013. We have several living donors waiting to be tested for a transplant. Dialysis is a bridge to get us where we need to go. 
He had a transplant in November 2019.

If you haven't heard the news......

 :yahoo; Please Welcome KitKatz and her big stick, as we celebrate her advancement from Moderator to Administrator.  :yahoo;

Kitkatz has been a long time consistent member and Moderator for IHD. You can read her profile to learn more.

Kitkatz is the perfect mix between Okarol and Sluff in her decision making and will fit right in as the newest Administrator. We love her very much around here and are appreciative of her willingness to take on all the added responsibilities.

More changes are coming soon, stay tuned.  :rofl;
