Kelly Rosbotham hasn't added a story.
Just a little info explaining why this page has been set
up.
Dave suffers from IGA nephropathy. It's a kidney disease
that can be controlled by medication but not cured. It was diagnosed 5
years ago when he was admitted to hospital just after our baby was
born. His kidney function was 13%. He was pumped full of steroids and
his kidney function increased and he was sent home. We were told that
his kidneys were badly damaged but with medication, it could be 10 to
15 years before dialysis or a transplant would be considered. It's
been 5!! We've been told that his kidney function has dropped
considerably and a transplant is needed in the next 12
months.
One of the symptoms of kidney disease is fatigue.
Imagine waking up every morning feeling that you'd ran a marathon the
previous day. This is Dave on most days. We muddle through as we have
no other option but to get on with it.
We have been inundated
with offers of support from many of our family and friends. With
people wanting to be tested as possible donors. Kelly has set this
page up to allow fundraising which will help us and our children
financially whilst Dave is in hospital and
recuperating.
Thankyou (especially if you managed to read it
all) I hope this has offered a small insight into Dave's condition.
Please feel free to ask us more xx
