When his mom noted said his eyes were swelling.
He was tired.
Not quite himself.
A few doctor visits later, they were told he had
"Nephrotic Syndrome"
It could be simple or serious.
My grandma/nurse heart was in my throat.
Today he was at the University of Utah to see
a Pediatric Nephrologist.
I was so thankful to receive this text from my daughter-in-love.
"Prayers have been answered! He has responded well to steroids.
We will doing daily urine samples to test for protein.
Concerned about him catching any virus that would cause a relapse.
For now we are just thankful everything is OK.
Thank you for all your prayers, we are truly blessed."
Ya, feeling blessed and feeling thankful.

There are so many weird illnesses out there I have never heard of.
So happy to hear that this little studly boy is doing well!!

What a relief to hear good news when a loved one is sick! I hope he continues to get better.
I'm so glad that your grandson is responding to his treatments. I never heard of this condition. I hope that he'll make a full recovery. I'll hold him in my prayers.
Hugs. JB
I'm so glad you got good news! What a scary thing... I love it when miracles happen in our lives!
I am sure being a nurse brought everything up on radar in your mind. Then the grandma worry kicked in. So glad he is responding well and that it isn't any worse.
I'm hoping he continues to go on the road to good health. Prayers! Love! Blessings!
Oh thank goodness he is okay! That would be so scary. Yes when the non- stop ones stop you know it is bad
Poor guy! I'm so glad to hear he's doing better. Hope he keeps getting better.
So glad he is responding well. I hope he continues on that path.
Big hugs!!!!! So happy for you and your family! More hugs!
Crazy things like this? Blees his heart, and bless yours too :)
It just makes you stop breathing when one of your little ones is sick. Praises for this wonderful answer to prayer. blessings, marlene
I so glad that he is responding well to the steroids. Please know that he is in my thoughts and prayers. How scary! I want to give your daughter in-law a hug.
I hate it when little ones get sick. It makes me so sad! I am glad to hear he is on the mend.
I am so glad he is okay. What a scary time.
Hope he continues to get better.
Hugs.
Poor kid! I hope everything is okay. What is it exactly? Is it Alports? My family has a hereditary kidney disease that's affected two of my brothers---it's not fun, but they've managed to live pretty great lives with it anyway:)
My heart felt like it was in my stomach reading this.
Seriously.
I hope blessings and good results keep coming his way.
Thoughts and prayers with your family...
I had to go look that up. Wow. I am so glad he is responding to steroids! Do you know if this is a permanent condition or if he can grow out of it?
I don't know what that is Tauna, so I will have to google it.
But not matter, ANYTHING that jeprodizes the health of our kids and grandkids is NOT acceptable.
It is very hard to see our loved ones suffer anything........
emotional
or physical
Cuttest little kid for sure. I just want to squeeze him (that's what grandma's do is squeeze, right?)
Miracles are everywhere if we open our eyes to see them.
prayers sent your families way.
and hugs for you
Oh my goodness. How scary. I'm sure being a nurse makes every diagnosis a little more intense for you. So glad all is looking well.
What a blessing!!
When our daughter was 12, the same thing happened to her.
Only .. it turned out to be serious and she had Focal Segmental Glomular Syndrom (sp).
Thus.. the kidney transplant.
I'm so happy for you and for your family that his nephrotic syndrom cleared up.
A huge blessing!!
A tender mercy, indeed. I'm so glad for you.
Oh, what a blessing that this little man is doing well!
Smackers!
So glad he is ok. I can't imagine the worry when the grandkids end up with health problems.
Squish to you.
I am so glad that the news was good. It so scary to have a sick little one.
So blessed! It's always the worst when it's our little ones.
