Merry Christmas to all AHUS families!
I would like to take the time to wish all of the Atypical HUS families a very Merry Christmas and a healthy happy new year! I hope that 2012 will be better for all who have been touched by this disease, including myself. I may not have a job yet and I certainly may not have a kidney just yet, but I am hoping that 2012 will be bringing me better things to look forward to. One thing that will HOPEFULLY be occurring is a potential trip to California to attend a renal teen prom sponsored by the Renal Support Network (RSN), where I will be able to meet some hollywood celebrities and get my face on tv, to hopefully get out there that I am in need of a kidney transplant. I am just awaiting to hear that I have a slot for dialysis, then everything can be put into place. I have been traveling a lot; enjoying it while I can, before I end up landing a full time job.
Work for me has gotten a little better; I am doing what I am to be doing for the time being at the doggie daycare and was granted a pay raise, so things are a bit better for me, until I can land an LVT job.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all Atypical HUS families, from the Frysz family to your families.
