Its so nice to have you join us! My son is 9 and on dialsysis for the second time. Lost his new kidney to BK virus and EBV virus, so hopefully he'll get another chance at a kidney in the future.

Welcome to our community!  I must confess that when I saw your name 'papayajam' I hastened to read your intro.  I was hoping that it could have been a Caribbean person!  Anyway, I am still glad that you decided to join us, even if you are not from the Caribbean!  This is a great place to be for information, support and even fun.  You have found yourself a caring and sharing family here :grouphug;  Just keep reading and keep posting.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
