I saw my kidney specialist yesterday and was told that my kidney function continues to decrease gradually. He also suggested that I attend a class about dialysis and kidney transplants to prepare myself in case I have to make a decision about those procedures in the future. He did also say that there continues to be a possibility that neither will be necessary, but that he would prefer I do think about what I want to do, just in case. Pray for me as I contemplate this possibility, that I will be given the strength to make an informed decision and the strength to follow through on that decision. Thank you.
Don

Bless, Father Don!

As someone who has suffered from kidney stones . . .

I'll try and avoid the temptation in saying, "I know a bit about what you're going through" because I really don't.

Prayers . . .

Alex

Dear Don,

Many many prayers that you accept whatever is God's will for you.

I hope and pray that such intervention will not be necessary.

May Our Blessed Lady Mary ever virgin, Mother of us all and my beloved Mistress, keep you in Her most tender care.

Deeds can be prayer in action.

Please, everybody, consider signing an advance directive - in lots of states you can do it via your driver's license - to become an organ donor, and tell your family of your wishes.

The bumper sticker I used to see said "Don't take your organs to heaven - heaven knows we need them here."

Prayers indeed for you, Don.

May God grant many years of peace, health, and happiness. That He guide the doctors in all areas of treatment so that His wisdom is used for you and not that of man.
