My real name is Raven Funderburg
March 28th 2008: Hey everyone I am still doing OK. I got my own apartment in Anniston and I am going to dialysis there. I've had some ups and downs and I even stayed in the hospital for New Years because my potassium got to heart attack level! But I am still kicking! Phoenix is getting bigger and smarter by the day. Hopefully I will be able to post some current pics soon. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.8/29/07 UPDATE: I have had my kidney evaluation, I am healthy enough to get on the list to get a kidney, BUT, the list is over SEVEN years long! I need to get a transplant before then because my heart cannot take the high blood pressure that long. My insurance will cover all the expenses of a donor, if you or someone you know would like to save my life please contact Lucy at UAB 205-975-9287. You would not believe how much it would mean to me to see my son grow up. That is all I want in life is to see my baby become a man. I also want to educate others on the importance of organ donation and the process of Dialysis. Any questions please e-mail me and I will get in touch with you ASAP. Thank you and even if you cant give now please check "yes" on your license to donate your organs after your done with them, and let your family know if that is your wish. Heaven knows we need them here and you can save several lives!Info about me: Im a 30 year old mommy that needs a kidney, I am never going to grow up but the last 2 years I have had to fake it a little. I had a baby, 3 months before my due date in November 2005, we both almost lost our lives. My son is the greatest thing ever to enter my life, he fought very hard to be here with us. He was only 1 pound and 9 ozs, and 12 inches long, I am proud to say he is VERY healthy and a wonderful little 1 year old baby boy, but still small (18 pounds). I on the other hand have entered into the final stages of renal diease. In other words I have lost both my kidneys and have been on dialysis since Novemebr 2006. You can read more about what I have been through on my blog. Im pretty sick and it really sucks, but my son keeps me going, I will fight as long as God has planned for me.Myspace Graphics
