Hi Ladies....

Sorry about being MIA for a while now.....

Anyhow, Things are moving really fast for the Kidney Walk. We are trying to raise $15000+. I have been meeting w/ the ceo here in louisiana, faxing, calling, and emailing in hopes to get sponsors for the walk.

Yesterday was Andrew's Pediatric Urologist Appointment 1 1/2 hours away. The Dr. said that his condition has not gotten any worse which is great news but it hasn't gotten better which is what they were hoping for.

They want him to grow out of it but he said at this point he doesn't see it happening. He is worried that his right kidney might start getting more and more relaxed and making the right kidney do all the work.

So he is making us go back for the Diuretic Kidney Scan which he has done in the past... but we had started on ultrasound's b/c he looked like he was making progress... so back to those......

Very painful for my Angel .. he has the iv put into his arm and a dye inserted into his bloodstream every so often for 45 minutes... the scan has to be still so he is strapped into a papoose.

I requested that we wait until after Disney World so he can enjoy it first.. So the scan is for the following Tuesday we return, Dec. 7. We will get the results from the hospital after the test.

Sorry not to address anyone personally but I will soon I promise. My love goes out to each and every one of you.

Hugs,
Penny

Penny, I am sorry to hear that angel isn't feeling so good. Tell me about the Kidney Walk. Where would I go to get info on one here in TX? I will check it out! I usually do the cancer one, might add kidney to my schedule.
It's okay to be MIA, just check in and let us know how things are going. You are so supportive of everyone on these boards, it is time we gave something back. Let us know if we can do anything for you. And please take care of yourself.

This will be short, I need to get to bed. But hope everyone is having a good OP week...
Later, W

Wanda,

Thank you so much for your support :) It means the world.

As far as walking the walk, you can go to www.kidneywalk.org

I see there is one in Houston Sunday but I am not sure how far you are from Houston.

The New 2005 schedule will be out soon for the next year. Let me know if you do attend a walk and how you like it!

Thanks again and Take care!

Penny

Hope you are doing well!
