Renee’s PKD Journey

06/30/2022

Look out, Sonic and Starbucks! Renee has found her match! She will go in for her pre-op on July 6th and will receive her gift on July 15th, the day she first started dialysis three years ago! 😱 Thank you to all the prayer warriors and everyone who stepped in to help! Continued prayers are obviously appreciated. On to the next step!

From Renee today!

"Prayers sure do work. I just got the email about an hour ago…. I’m APPROVED for transplant at UPMC. Now to get my donor in and tested. My coordinator was heading home for the day she said she would call me tomorrow with more details. 💚🦋💚🦋💚🦋"

Keep praying!

From Renee:

Just an update on my donor situation. One backed out. One was ruled out. I have one coming in on January 10th for testing. I have one more that transplant hasn't even called back. Please pray that the one getting tested on the 10th is a match. This dialysis is really taking it out of me. I'm working an 8 hour day then going for 3 1/2 hours to dialysis three days a week. Hoping that I can go to Pittsburgh in January. Please keep sharing and praying. I know my donor is out there. Thank you!

This a real picture of what PKD does to the kidneys. Imagine having these inside your body! Check out the hands for comparison. These were officially removed from Renee in September! Keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she now navigates getting that special donor!
