Tough medical news
My three nephews live in Sacramento CA, and for the last two years, the youngest, Josh, has been batteling a kidney disease that requires a kidney transplant. For two years, we have believed that his dad, Chad, (my brother-in-law) would be able to donate a kidney to him. We recently found out that since Josh's issue is genetic, that there is a risk of re-occurrence if a close relative donates. Now we are waiting to see if Josh will be matched with a donor from the general list of donors, and looking for other possibilities in terms of kidney donation. These are some tough times for our family, but we are pulling together to get through this.
