Me and things you might want to know
I’m a mommy to two beautiful little girls and we are trying for our third. I have polycystic kidney disease and both of my daughters do too. They at 2 and 1 are on blood pressure meds and we are just playing the waiting game, waiting for their kidneys to fail, waiting to be able to test donors….just waiting. I don’t let their or my own disease run our life. You probably won’t see to many posts about their problems unless I post about a doctors appointment, which we have coming up this month, or if their happens to be a problem.
I have found that there are few that are truly happy that I want to have another child. So we won’t be telling any close friends or family about any pregnancy that may or may not happen untill I am pretty far along. So for that reason I won’t be posting pics or using my real name or my childrens real name. Unless we change our minds and decide that we don’t want to concieve any more.
I used to blog on myspace but you can’t be anonymous like you can be here. I love to blog and will probably do so as often as my children and schedule will allow.
You may be wondering why milkmama for your name. Well I’m very pro-breastfeeding and am still breastfeeding my youngest who will be 16 months old soon. I even nursed my oldest until I was for months pregnant with my youngest. So if I do manage to get pregnant I hope to tandem nurse. I didn’t make it last time and I deeply regret it : (
For those who chart thier fertility I’m in CD 8 with creamy cervical fluid. I missed my temp this morning because baby got up a few times last night and I knew it wouldn’t be accurate. I hope to temp tomorrow and hope to see some more fertile cervical fluid.
I hope that this first post will do, I also hope someone will read and comment on my blog : ) It will make me want to write more.

With the use of MRI technology on the rise, the chance of patient with some form of kidney disease receiving an MRI is more and more likely.
Often to enhance the images received from an MRI reading, a physician will ask for an MRI ‘with contrast’ and you’re likely to receive the gadolinium contrast dye, Omniscan. This course of action could be fatal, and the very least, extremely painful and costly, for patients suffering from kidney disease.
Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis: The symptoms are gut-wrenching and blood-curdling to describe, and even to read: yellowing of the eyes and a contraction of the skin to the point where a sufferer is literally frozen in place, a terminal condition.
