Hello all. It has been a couple of weeks since we had an update so here it is. Today is Amelia’s 12th birthday- the birthday when she got her first kidney transplant. It is hard to believe that 12 years has gone by since then, and now a month has gone by since her new kidney birthday.

She is doing pretty good with all of the changes in the past month. Her body is figuring out what to do with the new kidney and the kidney is figuring out her body. Her labs are hanging out mostly in good ranges and she has more energy than she has had in a long time. She does get tired easily, but she is always up for a drive.

With being a month out of transplant, she no longer has to go to 2 clinic appointments per week. She is up to just one a week on Tuesday. She is happy about that, but not very happy that she still needs to have labs twice a week. That will change as she gets farther out of transplant.

All in all, things are going well. We are very happy that her new kidney is working so well and helping her feel so much better.

Thanks again for reading this, there will be a new post from Amelia herself sometime this week!

Still coming to you live, 29 days into the new kidney, and 4380 days into the first one,

-Justin
