If you need anything CPA, send me a PM and I'll drop you my cell. Since I live close to you, I'll run some errands if you need it or whatever. Pretty sure your wife will feel a bit overwhelmed with you and your son trying to recover.

No questions asked, please.

That is what you get for playing penis light laser fights with strangers, you catch some kind of funky disease and your penis falls off.

Thanks for the offer man. My wife's brother and mother are coming down and our neighbors have already planned dinners for us.

As much as I hate Facebook, my wife has gotten a lot of unexpected support from it.

good luck to you and the boy. what condition does he have?

It's called kidney dysplasia. Docs don't have a clue how it happened, but most likely he was born with it. One kidney was about the right size but had a lot of benign cysts on it, plus was getting hit with bladder reflux (urine was coming back into the kidney = not good), the other kidney, when they finally found it on the ultrasound was the size of a peanut. They functioned okay up until he was about 7, that's when we discovered it through a blood test for an unrelated issue. Go figure.

He had the bigger one removed a couple weeks ago and we hoped he would be fine, but we had to put him on dialysis over the weekend. Needless to say, two tubes coming out of the neck is not the favorite thing for a 10 year old. Both the tubes and other kidney will be coming out next Tuesday.

Best of luck with the transplant ... hope you both come out of it well!

That, and we're at the #1 Children's Renal Transplant facility in the US, maybe the world - Texas Children's Hospital.
