My mother's health

My mother's kidneys still aren't working. She has other health problems too, some of which appear to be unrelated to the renal failure. She was moved from SSH to a hospital in Boston.

The current main diagnosis is something called hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), though in the last few days her doctors have hinted that they're still looking for something which would explain all of her symptoms.

I'm back in Bedlam now. My father and sister are with her every day, supporting her, monitoring her various numbers, gathering information from nurses and doctors.

Thanks to everyone for the support and kindness you've shown since this began. I'll keep you updated.
