What is worse than health concerns for yourself? Those for your partner, for your children, for your grandchildren.
In our case for our youngest granddaughter Maia, 3 months old.
She did not gain enough weight and was admitted in a general hospital where blood samples showed that she has a severe kidney problem. She was rushed by ambulance to a specialised hospital for children.
Now. One day later, they are quite certain she has a genetic disease that, if I understand correctly, causes her liver to produce a type of acid that attacks her organs. As a result, her kidneys have already failed and they have to check possible damage to other organs.
The best possible outcome we can now hope for is that there is no further damage, that it can be stopped and than ultimately her kidneys are transplanted. But it could be worse. We have to take it day by day.
