Sorry to hear about the Zeester, but as you said, he is at peace.

And I cannot take credit for the quote - it's my wife's. I think she may have

even slipped them into our wedding vows ;-).

That is some sound advice from Lori, who was in the same boat only a few weeks

ago. Try not to over stress even if it seems so overwhelming right now - it's

not good for your child and it's not good for you. You are not alone, and if it

helps you and any other parent out there feel any better, I'm 38 and MY mom

stills wants my results immediately whenever I go to the neph or lab.

Personally, I call my wife first, since happy wife = happy life.

You should also check out our companion site at www.igan.ca. There is a lot of

information there that can really help you to sort out what is happening and

prepare you for your visits to the neph. The more you know and understand, the

better you are as your child's medical advocate, and that's the most important

role you can play now.

I have a 12 year old that was just diagnosed about 4 weeks ago, how

I cope is trying not to stress, which is really hard sometimes, the

biggest thing is not to try and figure out what is/could happen in

the next week, but get through each day as it comes. Don't get me

wrong, I still have a hard time trying to do this all the time, but

when I do it makes things easier on me and my daughter, the other

way to cope is checking this group each day and posting questions

and reading what others are saying. This is a great group of people

and they are more than willing to help and support you, some of the

people on this group have been dealing with this for quite

sometime.

How old is your child and when did you find out that he/she had IGAN?

What treatment is being done?
