Welcome to My Blog

Hello! My name is Daniel Lords and I have a great story to tell! I was born in December 2005. A few months later I was diagnosed with urine in the kidneys and kidney failure. I have been working with wonderful doctors in California at Stanford's Lucille Packard Children's Hospital. I have now begun the process of being accepted to receive a new kidney. So within a few months, (if we find a donor) I could be having a kidney transplant. Otherwise, I will be on "the list".


Let me tell you about my family. (If you haven't read my profile.) I have a twin named Sammy. I am 2 minutes older than he is. I also have 4 older brothers named: Ryan (7), Comptyn (6), Bryce (4) and Nathan (4). My daddy is the principal at Churchill Jr. High. He is also in the middle of his doctrate degree at UNR and was recently called to serve as Bishop of our church. (leader of our congregation.) My mommy stays at home with all of us boys. She has an at home business that is a non-profit for me and eventually for other children with medical needs.


When I get my transplant, I have to stay in Palo Alto, California for atleast 3 months so they can monitor my progress. I want my family to come visit me and with daddy and mommy going back and forth to Fallon, Nevada so much, plus living in CA, it is going to be very expensive. I have some wonderful friends who have offered to help my family by organizing some fundraising activities. This blog has been created so you can read about those and learn a little bit about me and my family.
