Hi and welcome to IHD. Tell us a little more. Where are you from and how long has your Mom been sick? Do you have your own family as well as taking care of Mom? I think you will learn lots from this site.  |

Welcome to the site. My mother was also a dialysis patient, and she started in 2001 when she was 63, so I was in a similar situation as yourself. You'll find this site so helpful, so keep visiting and posting.

Hello I am also the kid of a new patient. The only difference is I am a 24/7 caregiver. At this time I am just trying to figure out how we are going to do this. I am sure you know what I mean. Mom was in the hospital for the last month so we are just happy to be home. I will be watching for your posts so we can learn together.
