We are going to a place called Wellbound on the 18th. They will show us a presentation about dialysis and answer any questions we might have. Then we go to the kidney Dr. right afterwards. From what we know so far...the Dr. said something about putting a stint or something in her arm or stomach before she goes to Florida just in case she would need dialysis before she comes back in April.
Life is getting harder...between my Mom and worries about my son (everyday worries) I just don't know if I can handle it all. I use to be so much stronger, but I'm not anymore...I'm tired. Please keep us in your prayers.

Janet you have your hands full and like the rest said you are a wonderful daughter and mother. You have taught your son well, you cannot instill anymore into him. Your job is done, he will emulate what you have taught him believe me. He is a good boy or shall I say a young man.
The blood count is great with mom they corrected the problem, I am sorry to hear that she needs dialysis. They will put a shunt in her arm ? It is from a cow if I am correct, my brother lived on dialysis and had that put into his arm. That was 30 yrs ago I am sure everything has progressed. I will keep your mom in my prayers I am sorry that she has to go through this. Only God knows the reasons why. Hold the faith and hopefully things will work out.. Your in my prayers..
