Hi my son was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease due to a blockage that was not detected at birth. He is 22 months. I’m so happy to be apart of this community!

Hi! My son also had a blockage that was found during my pregnancy. He is now eleven! I'm not sure why I waited so long to reach out to others!

Welcome! I wish I had connected with a community soon after my daughter's diagnosis as well. Feel free to reach out for questions and support.

I feel the same way. At times, I feel so stressed, overwhelmed and alone! It's nice to have a place to talk and get support!

It is very stressful feeling so helpless for your child and watching him go through everything! We just had more tests done in Friday and there has been no change. This is good news because he is no worse. We are now waiting for blood work results.
