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.

Im so sorry! I hope everything works out! Is using a donated kidney something that will definatly solve this problem? If so, I think its great you and your sister are willing to do that! I know i would for my parents!

Thank you everyone for you kind words, thoughts and prayers. We're still waiting on the hospital (LIJ) to make the appointment for the biopsy. I don't know, but is it wrong to think that the longer they wait the worse my mom could get? It's so frustrating!

I am so sorry you are going through this. My FIL is also in Kidney failure....his kidneys function less than 50% and he has a cancerous tumor in one of them. He is not to the point to get dialysis yet but eventually he may need it.

I have a question though...is your mom diabetic or does she have high blood presssure?
