Going through life tied to a chair!

« on: June 06, 2008, 09:55:12 PM »

The 17 year old girl that sits to my left on dialysis is scheduled for a transplant June 17.  Let's just all pray our IHD prayer for her.  She has had problems her whole life with health issues.  She finally had to have her 1 (born with only one) kidney removed 2 weeks ago.  Her cousin is donating her kidney.  I really hope things go smooth for her.  She deserves a big break.

The transplant went great and both Kassi and her donor are doing great.  Kassi's creatinine is something like 1.3 !!

That is great! Hopefully this beautiful gift will help Kassi start to lead a more normal life - which at 17 is right in front of her and she deserves it.

Many best wishes for improved good news for her!
