Gage’s first dialysis. Honestly, a parent warned me that it was probably harder on us parents and she was right (Thanks for that Cindy). Let me tell you they move you from person to person for rules, instruction, paper work, school issues, scheduling issues, and they want you to understand everything that is going on so they want you to watch everything. Granted, we wanted to watch it all.

Gage is extremely reslient. I wasn’t so sure 6 months ago. But I am now. He’s had an intense week and yet somehow he still finds fun and joy and laughter in the expereience. See this photo? He is smiling. Seriously, he is smiling.

And I’ll leave you with this: we actually have the option to arrange for transportation for Gage to and from dialysis, in which he would be picked up and dropped off after dialysis. We don’t even have to attend. If I had only known it could be so easy…
