My Angel
by: Bobbie on Fri, Dec 26 2008

Hello,

My name is Bobbie and my son was diagnosed with PKD 3 years ago. Alex is 19 years old and a normal teenager. As of today his kidneys are functioning fine. I noticed that lately he has been complaining about headaches and feeling tired. I will be setting up a doctor’s visit today for him. I guess right now my biggest concern is medical insurance for him. Again he is 19 and my husbands insurance will allow him to stay on until the age of 23. With the economy and job losses I’m nervous that he will not be able to find a job after he graduates from college in a few years.
