As many of you are aware, I had a kidney transplant in March 2008, but unfortunatly Eric never really took, and has been is steady decline ever since with extended stays at St Vincents towards the end of 2008. My health had reached crisis point in early 2009 where it was decided to resume dialysis. It was then decided that to aid me in recovering my health and to assist moving on to another transplant that it would be better to remove Eric. This was done in early June.
