The story begins in 2007 with a switch of doctors and routine blood work. His former physician had complete ignored his elevated creatnine level. The new doctor caught it in one day and our world was forever changed. That was May 2007, it took me months to finally put the horrible news on my blog and share with my small readership at the time.
That one step created the foundation for this blog. I have written hundreds of posts related to our journey through renal failure continuing on with our journey through transplant and now the life after. It has been very cathartic for us. A way to look back and see what God has done.
If you would like to read the journey beginning to end. That can be done here:
