Steppin' up

Ben walked about 30 steps today with a walker. He has regular blood lab work done, which has shown steady improvements in his kidneys. Today his doctors said these tests showed his kidneys are almost back to normal.

We're sharing the comments here with Ben, so keep 'em coming! Over and over again he's told me how much he appreciates the support everyone gives him. He definitely feels loved.

Thank you for caring.
