Doctors advised Fitch and her fiancé that Cain’s undeveloped left kidney should be removed at 6 months when he was stronger, healthier and to be able to take the anesthesia.
At 8-months-old they decided to have Cain’s undeveloped kidney surgically removed.
“Cain was crawling around the next day after the surgery like he hadn’t had any major surgery or anything,” said Fitch. “He healed fine with no issues, he’s healthy.
Cain is now 13 months old and very active.
Fitch said that participating in the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan’s walk and supporting the foundation has become a passionate commitment for her because it has made her very conscious of the need for Cain to live healthily for the rest of his life to protect his one remaining kidney. For that reason, she wanted to help raise money for the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan. She gathered a group of her friends and family to take part in the kidney walk. Her team was called Cain’s Crew and was 27 people strong.
