More than 26 million American adults have chronic kidney disease, but this number, like all statistics, tells only part of the story, and as important as data is, I think it also serves to remove us from the personal stories and the heartache this silent disease brings.We have to remember that each one of these numbers represents a human being-a father unable to care for his family, a mother who has died way too young, often leaving children behind and in my case, a 24 yr old son who, without warning was admitted to the hospital as shocked doctors worked to save his life.
