The walk approaches. Please join us if you are available. Http://tinyurl.com/loganpkd
This week has been tough. I began doing more research on kidney transplants and found out children with Logan's disease are twice as likely to die from rejection than those who get transplants for other reasons. Turns out the disease is prone to bacteria. With that said I couldn't bring myself to look up the actual percentage yet. Even a low number seems too scary. We bought a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope to start monitoring Logan's blood pressure at home. I still don't know how to use it.
On a much more positive note, one of my coworkers organized a donation fund across my entire department and raised a large pool of money in honor of Logan. I love Kroger! My teammates genuinely seem to care. Logan's daycare/preschool, Goddard in mason, is doing a basket fundraiser the week before the walk. The director of the school switched her vacation days to ensure she would be back in time. Currently there are six teachers and their families joining us on the walk. Again I am dumbfounded by the overwhelming support. Finally, Westshore Pizza, wants to do a donation drive for Logan where a percentage of every pizza sold on a specific day would go to the foundation.
I have been bipolar thIs week. My family is so fortunate to have such wonderful people looking out for us, lending an ear and open arms.
