"Ya know, our life is crap."

"As long as we both don’t think that at the same time we’ll be okay."

We went in to see Dr. Caring today for Gage to get an initial exam for the transplant referral paperwork she’s preparing. As I have suspected over the last several months Gage has been slipping off the growth charts ever so slowly. He’s at 5% now thanks to failing kidneys after holding somewhere in the 15-20% over the last 18 months. And if he has any chance at growing normally we need to start daily growth hormones. You know that gets into the body by way of a needle, right? But wait! They don’t hurt as bad as EPO because they don’t sting! And the needles are really small! It’s an easy shot!

I feel so much better now.
