Kidney problems can force the
heart to pump harder, putting a
lot of strain on it. An American
study has found children on
dialysis for kidney problems were
1000 times more likely to have a
fatal heart attack.
The family has been fundraising
to take Maddie to The John
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore,
United States, next month where
more advanced treatment may
make it easier to match a donated
kidney.
In 2012, her father, Adam Collins,
donated one of his kidneys to
Maddie, but her body rejected it.
“We know we’re fighting
uphill to find a match for Maddie,
but you’ve got to believe in miracles,”
Mrs Manson Collins said.
The treatment offered in the
United States would make it less
likely Maddie’s body would reject
a donated kidney.
However, it comes at a price –
the full treatment is expected to
cost about $350,000.
Givealittle pages have already
raised more than $80,000 for
Maddie, and people in the community
had also been incredibly
generous, Mrs Manson Collins
said.
Many people, from family
members to total strangers, had
also volunteered to be tested to
see if their kidneys might be a
match for Maddie.
She had no idea how many,
as the family were not allowed
to know unless a match was
found.
But even though none so far
had matched Maddie, Mrs Manson
Collins said every person
willing to donate an organ had
helped someone.
“It’s not just about Maddie. We
don’t have enough organ donors
and that’s what this is about, so
if I can make more people talk
about organ donations I’ll have
succeeded,” she said.
She said Maddie had been
finding things tough, as her
treatment meant she missed a lot
at her school and couldn’t
do many things with her
friends.
“People say she looks so well, she
looks so healthy, but you don’t see
kidney failure until you lift up her
shirt and see all those lines in her
body.’’
