My daughter Ella, is very ill and needs a new kidney, the one she has now used to be mine but I happily gave it to her 4 years ago . It's unfortunately failing her now and she desperately needs a new one . She is only 19 and should be going out with her friends enjoying herself, instead she's very week, tired all the time, being sick at least 2/3 times a day , her whole body itches , she keeps having fevers , terrible cough because her body is making to much mucus , loss of appetite from feeling nauseous constantly and generally very low , these are all signs that her kidney is going into shut down!
She now has to accept that she has to go on dialysis ASAP before her kidney losses anymore function, as it's only working 15% . We are appealing to anyone that would be willing to donate their kidney to her , so she's not stuck on dialysis for a long time. If this is something you would consider doing and would like to be tested please let me know ? I have never had any problems myself from donating my kidney, we don't actually need two !
Ella also has a younger brother who has been on dialysis when he was a baby, until he was old enough to have a transplant which his dad ( my husband) gave him 12 years ago and he is doing really well. If you can't help in that way maybe you could help in another way? Ella shares a bedroom with her younger sister Rosie who is 16 , but Ella needs her own very sterilised room for the dialysis machine to go into . We only have a small semi so we need to extend in some way!
If there's anyway that you can help us with this ? Thank you for reading this all the way to the bottom xx Jo

7 years agoUpdate for Ella's dialysis room . We are still waiting to find out from the council if we can build under permitted planning, but in the mean time we have decided to make a start as Ella's health is very unpredictable at the moment, she's still very much up and down still. She's taken to sleeping on the sofa now , as she feels sick quite often and being cooped up in a crowded room just makes her feel worse (sharing with sister) We are removing a brick built shed and the conservatory, taking up decking and digging footings, over the next 2wks

7 years agoElla had a very important doctors appointment on Tuesday just gone with her renal doctor at the Royal London hospital. It is good news , her kidney is feeling a bit better and isn't dropping function anymore at the moment. She is feeling a lot better and she is even thinking about going back to work part time for a little while! She still needs dialysis soon , as they want to try and keep this kidney going as long as possible and dialysis will help that , her kidney. She still feels tired and sick but she she's not letting it get her down x

7 years agoUpdate on Ella, She's still in hospital and will be until at least Monday. Her bloods have improved a little , which is brilliant as it was looking like they was going to prepare her for dialysis whilst she's still in hospital. It's much better if she can get over this bad infection first and feel better. I'm hoping it gives us time to get this room underway first ! Thanks to everyone who has donated to her just giving page , we really do appreciate it and we are very chuffed with all the lovely support everyone has shown Ella xx
