1-year-old Kayden has 11q12 deletion disorder that severely affects both of his kidneys. Kayden started dialysis when he was 7 months old and continues to be on it for 10 hours daily. He is followed by our multidisciplinary team for end-stage renal disease and will be considered for a kidney transplant soon.
Despite his health challenges, Kayden's mom, Brittany, says her son is thriving and meeting most of his milestones. He can sit up on his own now and loves to play with his new drum set he got for his birthday. Way to go, Kayden!
