My Story

Elijah was born 20 September 2005 with Renal Disease. (kidney failure) Elijah’s biological parents were unable give him the care he required to bring his health to a good enough level that he would qualify for a kidney transplant. With his health diminishing he was removed and placed under the care of the Oglala Sioux - Standing Rock Tribe.

We are on a hopefully small road bump.  Elijah has gotten sick again.  Saturday we woke up and he would not urinate.  Just screamed it hurt.  Went to the Doctor, did the blood and urine test.  The thought was an infection so put him on some meds and instructed us to give lots of warm baths to get him to go.  That afternoon he had a very messy poop and well out came all the urine, however at that point he started to go pee but also started diarreha.  He could not stay off the toliet he had it so bad.  The next morning with bright red eyes and the scary part started, mucus and blood.  We went back to the doctor more labs, more test.  He was dehydrating but not to the point of putting him in the hospital so our job that day was to push push push fluids.  Monday we went back again to find all test were normal except labs.  Redid labs and awaited word from MN. 
The last word is back to the Doc and retest labs on Fri.  
Today we got up and thank God Elijah has not had one diarreha episode today.  Boy did I do allot of thinking about just how fast things can go bad. 

Happy 4th of July to everyone!
