9 year old daughter on PD dialysis after covid killed her kidneys.

Hello, does anyone else have a child on PD Dialysis covid killed my daughters kidney function & we are on PD Dialysis waiting for a transplant in 5-6 months time. It would be great to chat to someone else who is dealing with a PD Dialysis we are 7 days a week 9 hours a night. Its exhausting emotionally & physically.

Thanks

Amanda

I pray for your daughter and your strength at this time. I am seriously considering PD as a senior and was caught off guard by your comment that this process is exhausting for you. I pray it becomes easier and that the transplant comes at just the right time. For me too! Blessings, and this support here is great so come back if needed. BB

Thank you so much for your kind words & I hope you are ok. PD is a necessity but can be very overwhelming. I am sending lots of positivity & good luck back to you.

This is heartbreaking. We never think that things can go upside down to this extent with our children. Praying that a transplant comes sooner than later, re-establishing normality in your lives.

Thank you for your kindness, it's very daunting knowing I am the donor & the reason the transplant may fail we have a long way to go before that happens but we have to keep thinking positively not matter how hard it is.

I have been my husband’s caregiver for almost 2 years, he is in PD and I feel you. The only thing that keeps me going is to see him enjoying another day. God provided us with a third kidney and that is the peritoneum. I am sure that your baby girl is very lucky because she has an amazing mom. Be strong for her the same way you have been throughout this time. I’ll keep you and your baby in my prayers.

I also hope that a kidney comes through for you soon. Good luck and positive vibes to you and your daughter.
