Jackie's Kidney Transplant Journey

12/10/2024

One of the biggest heartbreak this year 2024...

Exactly 4days from this day Oct 10 2024
At 2am When I received a call from HOPE NKTI..at first it was my mother whom they contacted because I cannot be reached or sleeping peacefully that time. By the time or at 50 missed calls finally I answered the call.
The social worker Ms Nina of HOPE - NKTI was about to give to another recipient the baby kidney from a cadaver. (Yes I am enrolled at CADAVER program at hope nkti) Lo and behold I am 3rd priority for possible kidney transplant/recipient..

I went to the office cause I think anxiety would kill me if I stay home and wait for final call .. this is the prayer, the dream of every dialysis patient..is to get transplanted and be back to his /her normal life.

At 8am I texted again for miss Nina for any update...
God is so good
At 9am finally from 3rd priority , I am now the 1st priority..and was asked to go ASAP at NKTI Admission area...

at 11am Laboratory test was done again..for final matching..and of course the rtcpcr. All must be NEGATIVE.. this time I'm so anxious and worried for the outcome of the results.

at 230am..the results were out
One of the test were positive 😭😭😭😭😭😭.

MEANING the KIDNEY TRANSPLANT were halted and the baby kidney.. was not for me...😭😭😭😭😭😭

I was shocked and speechless.. all the while I thought this is for me..I would not be on dialysis chair anymore..
My husband would continue pursuing his dreams outside the Philippines...

To this day..I'm still hurting but I know GOD has better plan for me..for my family.

MAN'S REJECTION IS GOD'S REDIRECTION..

Hi everyone..
Story time..
First of all .. please pray for me ..

Supposed to be 3rd bloodspa day.But my blood clotted thus dialysis stop for a week. My nephro instructed me to visit my vascular surgeon at National Kidney And Transplant Institute were my fistula was done. Lord help me to pass this ordeal. One week non dialysis means less water and food intake, blood thinner meds were also administer.
Specially that the weather is so hot.. lord help me to limit myself with water and liquid as it may cause my congestion..

Hi friends, i am now also on HD treatment
Just like all of CKD wariors. Im going to phase this chapter with the help of god and my family.

Hemodialysis is a medical treatment that is often used to replace the functions of the kidneys in people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Hemodialysis patients must undergo several significant changes in their lives compared to their lifestyles before ESKD, including:

1. More Frequent Medical Appointments: Hemodialysis patients must visit clinics regularly for their treatments, which can be time-consuming.

2. Dietary Changes: Patients on hemodialysis must follow strict dietary guidelines to avoid foods that can increase their blood pressure, fluid buildup or cause other problems.

3. Fluid Intake Restrictions: Since patients on hemodialysis can't urinate as effectively as people with healthy kidneys, they must limit their fluid intake to prevent fluid overload.

4. Medication Changes: Hemodialysis patients may need to take more medications or have adjustments

As you dwell in God’s presence everyday, may you be refreshed and grow in your knowledge of who He is. Good morning!
