No, he is not ‘cured’.
His heart transplant is working great !!!
But, he is still in total renal failure so has gone home with a portable dialysis machine and indwelling feeding tube.
So his mother, father, and siblings will now become his ‘medical folks’ as they do the renal dialysis, tube feedings, injections, and all the other things that this ‘very sick’ little boy will need.
He will have to be on the ‘dialysis machine’ for 16 hours a day. Wow.
And this will continue, unless a miracle from God restarts his kidneys, until he is 2 or 3 years old when a renal transplant will be considered.
So, all that to say, yayyyyy he is finally out of the hospital after almost 11 months.
But. lest you think that this family is ‘down’ or ‘discouraged’, I think you will be blessed by this recent post from the Caring Bridge website. It was written by Christopher’s mother on Sunday Oct 17, just a few days before his discharge home. HERE’S THE LINK.
