In all seriousness, some major prayers needed

Original post by Mici n KC

Many of you know from last year, my mom had cancer and her treatment, been cancer free. Since then she has been in and out of the hospital with an array of problems and now this is the next worst possible (that I think anyway). Her kidneys are failing and the doctors don't know why. She had a consultation with her one doctor today because they just don't know why her kidneys have gotten worse. She is scheduled to have a biopsy to find out why she is having these problems so they could figure out a treatment. It might turn out that she needs to go on dialysis which is 3 days a week, 4 hours a day. My family and mom are having a hard time wrapping our heads around this. Her doctor was very reassuring in saying that people can live normally, go on vacation, etc. on dialysis and also said that people's kidneys have healed on dialysis and are able to come off it. So I'm hopeful to an extent. But if it comes down to it - my sister or I will see if we are good candidates to donate a kidney. I don't know, I just don't see any other way around it. I can't see my mom having to go like this. It's so depressing and scary and I just want her to get better. So if you could please just say a little prayer about her (or her kidneys to heal) I really appreciate it.

My ex boyfriend had a friend who had to do the dialysis and was waiting on a kidney transplant, and everytime I saw him he was doing regular stuff. I didn't even know that he had issues like that. People can totally still lead normal lives.
I will keep your mother in my prayers as well. I couldn't even fathom the possibility of losing her.

Here's to a healthy mommy!



Thank you! It's so hard not to think that especially since she isn't a spring chicken you know?

Prayers for you Michelle! My uncle has been on dialysis for 10 years, and is able to go away, live his life, etc.



Thanks, Heather. It's definitely reassuring to hear stuff like this.
