Welcome to Jessica and Elijah's life.
This is a blog about the life of being a single medical momma and how we got here. It will be a mix of past, present and future. If I am posting this it's because I am proud of my story and what I do everyday of my life.
* this is all in my memory, from texts and photos of the past while I dive into my view of what has happened.
Here we are, Jessica and Elijah who is the kidney warrior.

praying for your baby and you
Praying for Elijah and your family! I am a hemodialysis tech that has only worked with adults. Amazing work you’re doing mom, thanks for sharing your experience and your family’s story. Hope baby boy gets an awesome transplant and has a strong recovery. Blessings from Kansas. <3
Just came across your post, never come on this site, I’m a dialysis nurse for adults in a hospital, just wanted to let you know I’m praying for Elijah and you! Elijah looks great. I’ve know patients on dialysis for forty plus years. Praying Elijah gets a kidney transplant. If not, dialysis works well. Hang in there mom. Lots of prayers coming your way. Power of prayer.
That's s good looking baby! Well done mom.
So very proud of you Jess! What a wonderful thing you are doing with this blog! Give Elijah a hug then give yourself one!
Proud of the both of you 🩷
“Medical momma” does not quite capture the fullness of your spirit on display here. Strength, Determination and Maternal Love. A real fighter for good. Elijah could not wish for a more loving mother! I admire your bravery in sharing the journey, and hope that it will give you more strength and support. Lots of Hugs!
Great auntie Jenn is really glad you’re doing this!
