Dialysis

My mom started dialysis yesterday. She has to go three days a week for four hours a day. She will have to do this indefinately or until she gets a kidney transplant. She is on the transplant list, but still has a lot of paperwork to go through. She has been so sick lately, I hope this helps her feel better. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I can't belive how much she has gone through, and she still has a smile on her face (most of the time).



Sometimes I get angry because of all she has been through and how it's not fair that she's been through so much, but then I remember how close I have come to losing her, and I am thankful for the time we have with her now. Even though she cannot see, she is here, I am able to talk to her, hug her, spend time with her, see her with my son. Everyday I have with her is truly a gift from God.

I will definitely be praying for your mom, Maeg. I know you've both been through a lot in the last two years and your family is so lucky to have you holding everything together for afar.

Hugs to you today, my friend.
