Audrey Grace
At one month of age, Audrey began to fuss at the bottle. Rejecting it. I had noticed her face had become inflamed and rough with baby acne. (Alligator skin) After about 2 weeks Audrey was screaming at the bottles and rejecting them so much that we had given up, around the same time I gave up milk as I was wondering about a Lactose intolerance?

Out and About With CKSN
The CKSN Team has been having a great time visiting the Children's Renal Clinics at the Royal Children's Hospital over the past months. It has been such a pleasure to meet with parents and their children and chatting about the services we offer.Every second Friday we set up our table at the Royal Children's and hand out our information and give small gifts to the children. Not only do the kids love the funky pens and glow wands, but the 'older kids' also can't resist them!
A very big thank you to Jo Jones and the wonderful staff at the clinic who always make us fell very welcome. Look out Mater Children's - we're coming your way soon!
Kidney Kids Create Cupcakes!Cupcakes…tubs of icing…sprinkles…100s and 1000s…balloons - it could only mean one thing - the launch of the Childhood Kidney Support Network!
Fun was had by all at the Mater Children’s Hospital when CKSN conducted their Kidney Kids Create Cupcakes Day. Kidney kids, their parents, nurses, doctors and medical staff enjoyed a great day decorating (and eating!) cupcakes. Whilst the children were very busy spreading icing on cakes, the CKSN team was spreading the word about the network and its services.
A very big thank you to CKSN mums, Simone and Vicki, their families and friends who donated a laptop to the hospital for the use of kidney kids and their parents during their stays in hospital.
