Kidneys =(

Well, Brody's kidneys are getting a little sluggish again. They said they'd watch him through the night and see if things improve. Honestly, I will be really surprised if we make it through the rest of the week without doing emergency dialysis. If they decide he'll need the dialysis regularly, we will likely have to relocate to the area in order for him to be brought in 3x week for several hours at a time. Or if we opt to go straight to transplant, we'll have to start screening donors. Even then, we will have to relocate. All organ recipients are required to live near the hospital for several months following the transplant so they can be carefully monitored for complications. And what if Joss or myself don't match? We've had several family members offer their kidneys, but I'm not sure we could accept it. Some people have pointed out that, no matter what we try, we can not ensure he will have a long, healthy life. Delaying the inevitable some say. Cruel words or a heavy dose of reality? Either way, Joss and I are doing our best to remain hopeful. We will see how things go. One day at a time.
