I think I will look him up because if two people mention him he must be good.Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321275110857561824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997156159638877174.post-84858740133039102342009-05-13T19:26:00.000-07:002009-05-13T19:26:00.000-07:00Amen, Sister.

I know you don't know me, but my nam...Hi, Heather,<br /><br />I know you don't know me, but my name is Sarah and I'm 19. I came across Zoey's site through another child's, was utterly captivated by the grace, strength, courage, and resilience exhibited by your whole family (as so many others have), and have been following her journey ever since. <br /><br />I just had to comment today and tell you thank you for posting that, and thank you for taking on such a responsibility. I say that to you and all of the other moms who take on this role of "mom" to kids like us. <br /><br />I was born prematurely (as the oldest of five children), and was diagnosed within hours of my birth with a terminal kidney disease. I was given six months to live without dialysis or a transplant in April 2001, only to have a kidney donated to me from a family friend at church on August 30, 2001. 5 years post-transplant I developed common variable immune deficiency (CVID). I underwent treatment (weekly infusions) from November 14, 2006 to April 26, 2009. I am now 2 weeks into life post-treatment, and am still finding my way in adjusting to this new place.<br /><br />I know firsthand how much us as "special needs" children lean on our mamas, and navigate these two worlds with them as our guide and constant, most faithful companion. (For me, my two worlds are that of kidney transplant/immune deficient patient, and that of college student.) <br /><br />Thank you so much for posting that, and for so lovingly and willingly assuming that role.<br /><br />God bless!Sarah Boesinghttp://www.caringbridge.org/visit/sarahboesingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997156159638877174.post-18016014226459360922009-05-12T13:07:00.000-07:002009-05-12T13:07:00.000-07:00oh my goodness.
