Laurie's Kidney Journey Welcome to my journey. The most up to date information and how I am feeling and what is going on with my Journey.

Thanks for joining me and keeping me in your prayers. This is my search for a living kidney donor.

UPDATE: First I want to say I am sorry for not updating sooner. The surgery went well, the kidney is working, and I am on the mend. This will be a slow process...my energy level has not returned and I am tired a lot but they said it would take a good 3 months for that to start coming back to normal. My numbers are all going exactly where they are suppose to and my lab work is all (more or less) good. My hemoglobin level is a bit low but I am on medication for that and that could be one of the reasons for being so tired.

I am home and that honestly makes me feel much better than being in the city. I cannot drive for quite a while per dr. orders, but thank goodness for my hubby. I want to thank everyone who has reached out and checked on me...it is greatly appreciate. If for some reason I dont answer a message right away, just know I will.

Thank you to everyone for being there for us and being part of our journey.

So brief update...our journey is now back on track and we will be hopefully be transplanted at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston as soon as a donor is cleared. They are a very nice hospital and were very thorough. I promise to keep everyone updated on the progress we make. I do know that May is full of appointments for me and procedures. So fingers crossed that they all go smoothly. They begin today with appt 1 of 9. Stay tuned!!!

So I posted too quickly...received a call today from the donor candidate that she was disqualified due to her blood pressure being too high. Back to square 1!!! I think we make make some changes in our arrangements. I will keep everyone updated when I find out more!! Keeping a positive thought on the whole process but very disappointed.
