_Leah_ NewbieYeah, but his problems aren't anywhere near over. He has kidney failure, meaning he has to do dyalisis daily and take a handful of medicine. Plus he has an underactive thyroid, eacting in more medicine for him to take.
Why have I made this about me and my family's troubles? I shouldn't do that. I'm sorry. -
But...sometimes, people move in their sleep..
-
That really sucks about your brother. Is he able to get a new kidney from someone in your family?
Don't be sorry. How else are we suppose to carry out a conversation? -
Yeah, that's because their brain doesn't produce enough of that chemical.
-
Is that why that happened..? Interesting..
-
_Leah_ NewbieNo. He's been on the list for years at the clinic. But to be honest, I'm not sure I want him to get a new kidney. The longest a person has ever lived with a transplanted organ was 20 years, I think.
Yeah, I guess so. -
Is that why what happened?

It's probably better than having to get your blood cleaned by a machine every week.
-
_Leah_ NewbieYou tell me.
He has a tube running through his stomach, and he has to get fluid filtered in and out of it DAILY. But before he was able to use a machine to do at home dyalisis, he had to do dyalisis at the clinic, in which case he actually DID have to get his blood filtered out by a machine, three times a week.
I tell ya, he's got it hard. I feel bad for him. -
When I was younger, I had too very frightening sleepwalking experiences. I'll spare you the stories.
-
Yeah, I can't even imagine having to go through that. I don't like needles or tubes or anything like that that could be out in my body.
-
_Leah_ NewbieI really hate to see him go through this. My family has always had a lot of health problems. I'm always worried I'll inherrit them.
-
Kids normally sleepwalk. I did, and my mom told me that in one of them I was kneeling by my window, looking outside.
-
You haven't yet, so that's always good.
