Kidney transplants are common ...
@ozgirl512 His condition is very particular so I don't know if that's even possible but I hope it is.

@Underconstruction I hope so true... Will dialysis help?
@ozgirl512 His mom told me he received dialysis the first months , he is six months now.

@Underconstruction with almost no functioning kidneys dialysis will keep a person alive
@ozgirl512 That's very tough for a kid.

@Underconstruction agreed.. But better than the alternative and only a placeholder till a kidney comes along
@ozgirl512 Here hoping this kid can get a transplant.

@Underconstruction not everyone can, and I'm not trying to be negative, just realistic ...
@ozgirl512 That is true
