I have made the choice recently to keep something to myself (& my close friends/family.) This was my choice so I could take the time I needed to accept & learn about this news. As most of you know I have diabetes, diagnosed at age 13 I'm now 28 & I'm having some serious compilations because of it. I have had health complications over the years. After the loss of my daughter, Lily Grace, my kidneys started falling & I was diagnosed with kidney disease. After I lost my daughter in February 2014 my kidneys were functioning at 48%. As you could imagine, that year was terribly hard for me. Within this year my kidney functions has dropped significantly. From 48% to 23% as of May 2015. I now have been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease (failure). I am in desperate need of a kidney transplant. My health is failing quickly. I am remaining positive & make the choice to have a smile on my face even with this huge overwhelming uphill battle I face. I ask you to keep my family & I in your prayers. I have cancelled my wedding in September. It's just too much right now given my current health situation. My family & I are planning a fundraiser to help with financial burden & to spread the word about being an organ donor. (In late july or early aug) If you or someone you know might want to help please reach out to me if you have any questions. I have a number you can call to see if you might be a match. (Hartford hospital transplant program [phone redacted]) I am A+ blood type. A+ O- O+ are all matching blood types. Currently I'm going to the hospital weekly for infusion treatments and hormone shots. This helps my bone marrow produce more blood cells. I'm having a hard time making these appts. do to the financial burden of these frequent long trips to the hospital without reliable transportation. I am strong but would appreciate lots of love & positivity. I plan to make this summer & everyday really Count, I choose to count my blessing & remember the glass is half full not empty
