The daughter of one of our employees here is presently in the Lucile Packard Children's Center with a kidney malfunction. It is, fortunately, not as serious as yours was. As of this moment, we don't know if the disorder is due to an infection or due to nutrition. Her parents say she has been a very picky eater for a long time. Your mom and I were discussing this situation when she told me of your experience. It is an inspiration that you have taken an awful experience and changed it into a very positive life altering experience. Kudos! I have a fairly nasty disease myself (I will let your mom tell you more details if she wants to). My problem is somewhat dependent on the presence of certain hormones and I have been advised to minimize my consumption of most animal products and some plant products (such as soy) because of the presence of endogenous hormones. I was wondering if perhaps sometime when you are over here on the coast visiting, you might have a little time for a consultation on how to eat a balanced diet including (especially) the proper proportions of the essential amino acids that I have been obtaining from animal sources. It is important for me to maintain proper nutrition and vigorous exercise. Since it would be a professional consultation, I would, of course, be willing to compensate you for your time. It would be a distinct pleasure to be the first paid client of what I feel certain will be a long and distinguished career! Jerry Chaney Hi Hillary,

Then, when I read about your diagnosis I was stunned. I also at age 3 and again at 7 was diagnosed with HUS and was treated at UC Davis. Your story has truly hit home for me and it's incredible to see how such a similar experience can impact both of us in different ways. I am attending college to become a pediatric Nurse Practitioner so that I can help kids! Additionally, I recently had a relapse of HUS last April and the condition is now classified as atypical HUS when it occurs in adulthood and is very rare. Thank you for your inspiring words and positive direction! After reading about your story and your focus of a healthy lifestyle…it started to sound a lot like my life.

Coli is a very scary experience. My then 2 year old nephew was in Pediatric ICU for about a month last June due to kidney failure caused by E. Coli. He too had to have dialysis. Thankfully he made a full recovery. Food safety should be a top priority on everyone's list. E. Coli is a very scary experience.

Have you tried looking to see if your illness happened around the same time as any food recalls? I'm not sure how you do it, but I remember reading that someone connected their son's infection to a beef recall years later... That sounds so scary!

All of us at Sunset listened for news of how you were doing and were so relieved when you got better! It's fun to read your well-written and interesting blog. It looks so professional! It's been fun knitting with your mom and hearing about you and Bryce! You both are part of my fond memories of teaching! Love, Viann Chan I remember your bout with E.coli, Hillary!
