Here's an update. James had the nocardia lung infection for two months last fall and it has done significant damage to his new kidney. It looks like it may not recover. This means James will have to be on dialysis again until he is completely cured of his lung infections so he can go on the transplant list again.

We hope to do another fundraiser locally once he is feeling up to it but that might take awhile. The nocardia infection can take 6 to 9 months to finally cure. His weight is quite low and he is very skinny. We hope he will be able to gain some back one day.

We are still driving to Kansas University in Kansas City, KS every month or two and using some of the funds you donated to reimburse us for our trips.

Any donations are 501(c)3 and can be used for tax purposes. Anything you can do would be appreciated. The trips aren't going to stop.

James ended up getting a nocardia lung infection and got taken to Wesley then flown to KU Med on Nov 7th. He came home a month later on Dec 4th.

James is on IV antibiotics that we do at home until the 25th. His IV port will be removed by home health the next day at the house.

His new kidney is still very impaired so James is also doing hemo-dialysis 3 times a week until rhe kidney numbers improve and his urine output increases. Yes, we are back to measuring his urine everyday. Ugh.

We hope the kidney will recover but we just have to wait. So far, it doesn't look good but too soon to tell.

Hi James! The students and staff at Derby High School are going to start selling t-shirts for $10. Proceeds will go to your goal of $20,000. The community loves you James and all the support you have shown the students here at DHS and our community through the ASL Dinners.
