More On The Kidney

Ken went to the specialist on Monday. They kept him on the trail meds for another few months, we should know in September if the meds are being stopped then. The Dr is happy with Ken's overall health. His blood pressure is down, which is great!

In July we go for our first family kidney, dialysis and transplant information session. this will help us to understand even more of what we are to expect and what is exactly happening to the kidneys.

We spoke to the dr about interest of some possible donors, the Dr was happy to hear that. The Dr is going to have an overall health check on Ken, which should take about 3 months, to make sure he would be an approved receipient prior to going to the next step and actually testing the possible donors. The Dr said it could take 1 year to 1.5 years to get all the testing done and transplant completed.

As always wanted to keep you up to date on the latest in Ken's fight with his kidny, with all of your prayers and support he'll win this fight. Thanks so much for all your care and concern it means so much to all of us!
