No Longer Sick chronicles the latter stage of a young man's decade-long illness with End Stage Renal Disease. Told from a mother's heart, the account reveals not only the physical aspects specific to kidney disease--multiple hospitalizations, dialysis, kidney transplant, immunosuppression--but also the social, emotional, and mental hardships. This book is about youth, pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, opioid use, financial distress, family conflict, navigating a complex health care system, grief, and what goes into losing a person.
The book honors a brave young man for his valiant fight.
