Its Definitely A God Thing Adopted 3-Year-Old Needs Kidney, Mom Is A Match: Surgery Is March 16
By Richard Hunt\n\u201cHe\u2019s been on dialysis since he\u2019s been born.\u201d Mother, Jeanne Backer, shares that Jaxon, age 3, has end-stage kidney disease. He\u2019s been doing at-home dialysis every night for about 12 hours. \u201cFor a 3-year-old that\u2019s a lot to stay in one spot for, but he\u2019s finally big enough for a kidney transplant.\u201d \n\nOf course, that requires a kidney donor. \u201cSo, we went through the whole process to see if anybody we knew was a match \u2013 and, thankfully, we found out that I was a perfect match for him!\u201d Since Jaxons\u2019 parents aren\u2019t biological parents, \u201cwe didn\u2019t think it (a match) was possible at all \u2013 it\u2019s definitely a God thing.\u201d
