Title: Jenna's 5 year kidneyversary!
Post by: okarol on January 18, 2012, 02:46:35 AM
We celebrated Jenna's 5 years and the Brave Little Kidney with a pink kidney cake!
Jenna had been on dialysis for over 3 years - had about 500 treatments. This transplant has given her freedom from needles and sitting, waiting for dialysis to end, only to begin again.
She doesn't know how long her transplant will last, but for today she's doing ok.
We'll always be grateful to her donor Patrice. Living donors make miracles happen!
Here's Jenna with her sister and brother.

This is such wonderful news, Okarol.  Congrats to you all.  I know that Jenna's wellbeing is a result of the efforts of everyone in your family.  I hope that kidney goes on forever. :grouphug;

Thank you MM - I was pretty sure I posted the photo but could not find it today. So now it's on here a few times.  :oops;
Jenna has lost a bit more function this month so the stability she held on to for the last 2 years has inched closer to dialysis. She's working on getting multi listed, and exploring desensitization, and I hope she can keep feeling good for now.   :thx;

The little kidney that could is still chugging away!  Hope it holds on for years more.   :bestwishes;
