Those that follow Audrey’s Facebook page will see the incredibly difficult time she has had this year…that seems to be continuing. Audrey was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome at age 3.. over the years she has been dealt loads of curve balls that she just takes in her stride and smile through, even when the medication caused her to be a type 1 diabetic requiring daily injections. 2023 posed a more difficult year with PRES seizures and other complications, Audrey’s diagnosis mutating Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Her condition is likely going to lead into a kidney transplant and pancreas transplant.. In the meantime she is being treated with several weekly infusions to assist with the fluid retention, waiting for her kidneys to fail. Any funds raised here will go to further treatment and attempt to give her a the childhood she deserves.

So in September, Audrey is required to go to Adelaide for a week of medical appointments and check ins. Sadly the expense of her siblings traveling with her is not covered and she desperately wants her siblings with her

What a difference from when I started this fundraiser. Audrey is doing much better, medication seems to be doing its thing and providing Audrey with a window of wellness.

Audrey loves Olivia Rodrigo … but now we live so far away from all the concert venues it almost seems unattainable.

So it’s been a rough few weeks, with Audrey tipping 61kgs - close to 21 kgs of excess fluid swelling her body and pushing against her organs. Audrey has been super compliant with everything they’ve asked, medication, walking, swallowing tablets… no arguments. I’m so proud of this kid and her mentality during these tough times. Today was particularly challenging, with the insertion of the vascath (see her Facebook page ‘Audrey’s Awareness for photos), then to the treatment centre where they removed 2.6L of fluid from her blood. We are super keen to see the results of this intensive, invasive treatment as there is a whisper of hope it will pause the disease….

It’s been a tough week, after being transferred from our local hospital where Audrey’s super familiar with the routine and the staff… to Westmead children’s hospital where they share rooms- staff seem somewhat impersonal and the routines are always changing … there have been tears, a lot of tears about the unknown.. and the possibility of missing the beginning of the school term. There is so much pressure on us as a family to relocate to Sydney for these treatments.

So Audrey needed to go to the dentist in top of everything else… as she has been complaining of a sore mouth/tooth. As it turns out, the medication has ruined her adult teeth and she requires a mouth full of fillings and now has a referral to an orthodontist as her mouth is overcrowded.

It’s definitely not where a 12 yr old wants to spend the majority of her school holidays !
