Olivia has been in the hospital since February 16th. A dull aching pain has taken over her body...think it's one thing but then something else happens and its back to the drawing board.

Dialysis at home brings some happiness to Olivia, but while she has been in the hospital her catheter has become infected so it's back to in-center dialysis for about six-weeks...God please don't let it be longer.

💚 March is National Kidney Month 💚

Your kidneys work hard for you every single day — filtering waste, balancing fluids, regulating blood pressure, and keeping your body in balance. Yet kidney disease often develops silently, with little to no symptoms in the early stages.

That’s why awareness matters.

1 in 3 adults is at risk for kidney disease.
High blood pressure and diabetes are the leading causes.

This month is a reminder to:
✅ Know your numbers (blood pressure, blood sugar)
✅ Stay hydrated
✅ Eat a balanced diet
✅ Get regular checkups
✅ Ask your doctor about kidney function testing if you’re at risk

Early detection can make all the difference.

Take care of your kidneys — they take care of you. 💚

🌿 Movement Matters: Quick Exercise Tips to Support Health 🌿

Staying active can help boost energy, support heart health, maintain muscle strength, and improve overall quality of life — especially for individuals living with chronic kidney disease. The key is choosing low-impact movement that supports the body without added strain.

🚶‍♂️ Walking is a safe and accessible way to stay active. Start with 10–15 minutes at a comfortable pace, gradually working up to 30 minutes most days.

🪑 Chair-based exercises are great for days when mobility or energy is limited. Simple movements like seated leg lifts, arm raises, seated marches, and gentle torso twists can help keep the body moving.

💪 Light resistance supports muscle strength. Using resistance bands for bicep curls, leg extensions, or shoulder presses — 1–2 sets of 10–15 reps — can make a difference over time.

🧘 Stretching and gentle yoga help improve flexibility and release tension. Focus on slow, controlled movements and remember to breathe.

✨ Movement is medicine when done safely. One step, stretch, or gentle movement at a time can support strength, independence, and overall well-being.

📖 Read the full article to learn more ways to stay active at your own pace.
