On to 2020: Campaign Paused and KT Updates

Update posted by Anna Esguerra

Hi guys!

I have put this fundraising to a pause for now. Well, I haven't promoted the link since last year. I believe that I have received a very generous amount from all you guys which I am very, very thankful for. Also, I would like to let you guys know that a small percentage of the donations I have received have been used towards my dialysis treatments and medicines. On the side, I have been selling my things too to make up for these expenses.

Here are the latest updates about my journey of having my Kidney transplant:

  • I have started seeing my doctors, going to consultations to receive their clearance in order to do the pre-Kidney transplant exams
  • My cardiologist gave his clearance, and we'll do a stress test on my next visit
  • My nephrologist is close to giving her clearance, as long as the neurologist gives her clearance before deciding
  • My neurologist was thisclose to giving her clearance because she has started to reduce the maintenance I take since November to prep my body, and one of my maintenance medicines before will interfere with the anti-rejection medicines I have to take on the daily after said transplant
  • Lastly, and this doctor is a final add on, my dentist is also to be consulted for clearance before doing any examinations. Turns out my dental health needs to be cleared as well, and I don't know why this should matter actually.
  • We are still looking for donors.. :(
  • Recently I was admitted to the hospital because I lied facedown and had a seizure. When I regained consciousness, I was struggling to breathe and grasp for air. It was a delicate situation, and because of the people who saw me experienced an absence of thought, they insisted that I be brought to the hospital. Staying in the hospital was pretty short and I am so glad for that, we didn't spend a lot paying the bills. Let's hope this doesn't pause my waiting time and we'll continue with clearance and tests.

By the way, in case you may have seen any of the photos I have used here anywhere else, in other listings or posts going online, I have not authorized that or have any relations to the person who shared/posted it. I am only posting the photos here in this funding page.
