Another Kidney Check Up

Another Kidney check up was today.  The Dr's and Nurses are amaxed at how we are keeping the nutrition level under control for the kidney's, this is a definte reflect on prolonging the need for kidney dialysis.  The creatnine level is at 734, up from last time.  Every time we make a visit to the Kidney Care Clinic, we wonder will this be the day we are told dialysis needs to start.  Today the Dr did not suggest dialysis yet, again mainly because there is a kidney donor being worked up, however he does hope it happens sooner then later as it is taking a lot of time to progress.

Time is not on our side, every minute counts in the race to get a transplant completed.  In saying this, if you are a donor of a kidney or any other organ, you need to know that time is of the essence for the receipient, there is no time to waste, no time like the present.  Think of something that you would have wanted done yesterday, this is what your receipient is feeling.  Although it is not all about the receipient, the donor needs to know that the receipient is not in good health, in dire need of the transplant; whereas the donor doesn't really feel the uregency since they are not sick and going through the everyday stress wondering if this is their last day off of machines. 

Nobody can predict the future, anything can happen to anyone at anytime, driving to work, going to swimming lessons, going out for supper, etc.  But we can as human beings can care about one another to give. Give blood, give support, give organs, give love.  It's called humanity.  It's in YOU to Give!


Deuteronomy 15:10Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.
