Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / December 2007Kidney replacement
In early 1984 Linda was pregnant with our 2nd son. This was when she was diagnosed with SLE. The GP said that she would need to end the pregnancy but refered her to to her rheumatologist and a nephrologist before any decisionns were made. In November 2006 Linda was accepted at Stanford Hospital and put on the kidney waiting list there. This last August she started peritoneal dialysis. Wednesday she recieved a young healthy kidney from her 23 year old son. Both are doing very well and Brandon is back home. Timothy WOW ~ what a wonderful Christmas gift that is for them both!! Such a wonderful and an inspiring story!! Thank you so much for sharing that with us all Timothy!! hugs, Shelagh Happy Holidays to you and your family!

May God bless you both and keep your wife healthy and safe too. janers > Great news and a great Christmas present. > > May God bless you both and keep your wife healthy and safe too. > > janers Thank you Janers and Shelagh. It sounds like she will be coming home late this afternoon. This has been the greatest Christmas present in this household! On arrival at the hospital Linda's creatinine was at 11, not terrible for someone on dialisys for 5 months. 14 hours after surgery it was down to 1.8, a day later to 1.08 and yesterday morning 0.9 the lowest it has been since 1984. We are rejoicing here. Timothy > In early 1984 Linda was pregnant with our 2nd son. This was when she was > diagnosed with SLE.
