Hello all! I haven’t posted on our site for awhile so thought I’d give you an update. We are still trying to pursue a living donor kidney but with the “list” Cory is active and inactive stage. Cory Is on the list but inactive unless we find a living donor there will come a day where Cory’s numbers will continue to increase and we will have no choice but to be permanent on the donor list for living donor or from someone who has passed.
After getting both of our kids moved to different cities in August we are settled in the “empty nester” phase.
In early August Cory got Covid which was awful, his creatinine jump to almost 5 to which freaked us out. Thankfully over the last two months we’re back at 3.8 and holding steady.
Cory’s pain has increased making us a little worried with some weird yet unrelated symptoms. Right rib pain that feels like broke ribs but everything is clear. Also has tailbone pain that makes his job a little more challenging due to sitting all the time. X-rays didn’t show anything but continued pain. His Dr is doing an amazing job keeping up on his pain but worried cause Cory keeps losing weight.
When Cory left the fire dept to go fly fulltime time he was weighing 200lbs, the other day he stepped on the scale at 155-160lbs. I can’t believe my eyes but know it’s the disease progression.
