Tiffany's Thread (updates and prayers, and a place where she can smack Joe in public when he needs it :)

[ArdentVol]

This is exactly the situation with my two-year-old grandson, only on the left side, though. (Ureteral reflux.) By the time he was born, the damage had been done, and he has one working kidney, which might not be 100%.

Praying that you guys might be on the right road at last.

never knew --or simply missed -- news pf your grand's condition. What's the little fellow's name? I assume he lives in Asheville area

He's another Luke!

Sorry, phone hiccup - they saw on prenatal ultrasounds that something seemed off, but they didn’t discover how bad it was until he was 3(?) days old, and off to Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte for emergent corrective intervention to reopen what they could.

He’ll probably need reconstructive surgery at some point, but for now, he’s just a happy little guy, taking on the world.

What a wonderful happy little fellow. Looks a lot like our Lucas (aka Lukie), who used to hide every time he saw a camera. He's got a beautiful smile, too.
more to follow .....,

Yeah, she can't stay infection free, and they couldn't risk doing it with infection

I see, well I am hoping and praying that the new procedure will work for Tiffany.

What a little Cutie!!

If the “good” kidney starts to lose function, that will be the next step. But kidneys are a redundant organ, and we can live on one as long as it works well (and we don’t develop diabetes or high blood pressure, or injure it in sports, etc.)

Transplants carry their own risks in terms of long-term anti-rejection drugs, which suppress the immune system, graft-vs-host disease, etc.

My dad was born with one kidney and lived fine until his liver problems.

I think Tiffany's dad is finally getting the Florida sister and bunch just wanted him for money. IDK if it's rented in his name or hers, but he gave her $3,000 to get moved into a place for them. She got her old cleaning job back, and he's been helping her while there, and letting her keep all the money for rent. He's been with us for about a week, and headed back yesterday. She kept texting Tiffany telling her to tell him not to come back yet, but Tiffany stayed out of it. He drove back yesterday, never could get her to answer, and finally one of her kids said she'd went and rented a hotel for the weekend with some guy she met online. Leaving him with nowhere to go, so he's driving back here right now. I just hope he didn't rent in his name, cause she'll end up ruining his credit. She also told her to tell him to hurry and sell his house, she's wanting that $. Tiffany said she talked to him earlier while he was driving, I think he finally sees they were taking advantage of his emotions. It's a screwed up situation, I feel bad for him.

A real life soap opera that sister is.

On a positive note, Tiffany got her a little corner stand to put her mom's ashes and pictures on

Joe, any updates?

The Vanderbilt Dr called yesterday, they got the report from the testing. She said she was going to talk to the surgeon, and see if they can get a plan together, and she'd call back soon.

When I replaced our front door a few years ago, I wanted to paint it pantone 151c orange (wife wanted some “pop”). The missus nixed this and stained it a warm brown with a glossy clear sealer. It’s not Tennessee orange, but it looks good.

Do you get tired of constantly having to stand in your Jon boat? No way you can see over the bow when you sit down

Oh chit, talkin about Joe's stump.

I'm painting the whole house, so I only taped the floors, not the walls. It's driving Tiffany crazy that there's white on the walls. I wasn't trying to be careful, cause it'll be covered soon. She said what if someone comes in and sees it? I told her I'd just tell them she did it, and sucks at painting
