Irene’s had growing challenges at dialysis related to the fistula function.

On several occasions over the last few weeks she was sent home early without completing the sessions. She had dialysis 4 days last week because the challenge is escalating. She came home early again today with an incomplete session.

She has an appointment tomorrow with a vascular surgeon.

Stay tuned and thanks for caring,
