Yesterday William and I went to Florence to stay with the boys while Becky went for her doctor's appointment. She has PKD the same as me. But she wasn't expecting to hear what they told her. She has 16% function. That means she is at the threshold of having to go on dialysis and must be making plans. Somehow, it was a lot easier to know I had to do this than to know that my child has to do it. There is really no way to be prepared, even when we know. It is always out in the future somewhere. She has the young boys (age 6 and 7 1/2) that she home schools and that is of great concern to her. I'm grateful that I had my girls at a young age, and they were grown before I had to deal with all of this. Things will be fine. It just takes some time to deal with it all. Becky has a strong faith in the Lord and I know she will be okay. And she has a great church family in addition to her 'family' family for support. Yep, it's going to be alright.
