A LITTLE BACK GROUND INFORMATION:

Daylen was diagnosed at the age of 4 and now 3 years later they are still coping with what this disease has thrown at thhem. Heavy medications which suppress his immune system which makes the common a cold a possible hopsitalization, they also carry significant side effects like cancer and high blood pressure. He goes through constant blood monitoring through needles at the hospital on a monthly basis, several doctors visits, diet control and kidney biopsy's which they are planning for again in the near future. He also has and does take high doses of steroids to stop his relapses and those have taken a hard hit to his bones. From repeated use, he has gone from normal to the bottom end of normal as far as bone density. Osteoporosis is also something they are keeping an eye on. Something as simple as a common cold or a bug bite send his immune system reeling and his kidneys just don't function properly and he becomes "nephrotic".
