Help Judy Get Her New Kidney!
My name is Judy Baine, and I am the wife of James and mother of Elisabeth (17), Erial (6), and Emaleigh (4). Simply put, I need a kidney transplant and need the help of my community to make it happen. Transplants are lifesaving, but very expensive.
My journey began many years ago with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes at the age of 19. I soon thereafter developed high blood pressure. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the top contributors to kidney disease. I was officially diagnosed with Stage 4 Kidney Disease in July 2015 and I was placed on the transplant list in April 2016. The disease progressed and I began dialysis May 6, 2016.

I got my kidney! I was getting ready to make lunch on Sunday, March 3 when I got THE CALL! I had my transplant on March 4. It has been slow going at first. What is typically a four-five day stay in the hospital turned out to be ten for me. But now, three weeks later, virtually all my swelling in my legs is gone and my creatinine levels are nearly normal! The kidney I received was a perfect 6 out of 6 match! The surgeon said it couldn't have been a better match!
I'm still sore and waiting on a doctor's release so I can do housework again, but for now, my beloved husband, children, mother, and sister have been caring for me around the clock! A girl could get used to this!!!
