Roderick's Kidney Journey

04/04/2026

I had dialysis yesterday, the day after my birthday on Thursday. I still had a nice birthday and got a few gifts, so that made me happy. 💙

Dialysis is kinda hard sometimes, but I’m staying strong. I really can’t wait until I get a match so I don’t have to do this anymore.

Just taking it one day at a time. Thanks to everyone who checks on me and cares about me. It means a lot. 🙏

Happy Birthday to our amazing son, Roderick! 🎉💙

Watching you grow into the young man you are today has been one of the greatest blessings of our lives. Through all the struggles, you still shine so bright and continue to have the biggest, kindest heart. That strength and light in you make us so incredibly proud.

No matter how old you get, you’ll always be our baby. We hope this year brings you happiness, success, and everything you’ve been working so hard for.

We love you more than words can ever express. Enjoy your day—you deserve it! 🎂🎈💙

Been a rough road with dialysis so far. Having break through seizures since starting it in October. Getting EEG today hoping for a kidney soon.

Dialysis is hard but had fun Monday for Christmas. Praying for a kidney for Christmas that would be the best present ever!

That is an amazing of you! We sincerely appreciate you sharing. We pray every day for a perfect match for Roderick. He has been battling since birth and he has done it all with a smile on his face even through the toughest of times. He has O+ blood type but to be a donor the positive and negative don't matter. Organ donors really do save lives! 💚

💚 It’s been a rough road, but we’re still fighting. Roderick’s transplant in June unfortunately failed, and since then his kidney function has dropped to just 8%. He recently had to start dialysis, but he remains strong and hopeful. He continues to face it all with courage and faith.

The good news is that he’s back on the active transplant list, and we’re praying every day for a match. 🙏

Good news Roderick has officially been put back on the transplant list. He is inactive until cleared by hematology. Then he will go back active.

💚 **Roderick Update** 💚

On June 13, Roderick received a kidney — a moment we had all been praying and hoping for. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen complications, the kidney had to be removed the very next day, June 14.

While this was not the outcome we expected, Rod is in good spirits and staying strong. He’s currently healing and will need about 6 weeks to recover before he can be re-listed for another transplant.

We’re grateful for your continued prayers, love, and support during this journey. 🙏💚
