Shortly after Odin Trebesch’s start,
his mother and father, Tara and Larry, realized that his kidneys have been failing. As a substitute of
main with concern, they led with love.

“My husband and I have been agency that we
had the emotional and mental capability to do no matter it took to get Odin
via,” says Tara Trebesch.

After a simple pure start—charmed by
the truth that Tara delivered on her due date—Odin began dropping weight and turning into
torpid. On day 11, the couple realized the phrase creatinine, a standard results of metabolism. It’s one thing docs measure
to find out kidney operate. Odin’s creatinine was extraordinarily low for a new child,
and he was rushed to an emergency room close to residence. 

Over the subsequent 24 hours, the Trebesch
household realized that Odin had a blockage in his urinary tract, which had
severely broken his kidneys. Medical doctors warned Tara and Larry of doable
mental and developmental delays, and an extended street that may ultimately
require a kidney transplant.

The newly married couple have been shaken
however not deterred. With strong help from their household, they took the subsequent
step, and one other after that. Particularly, Tara discovered resolve to push ahead
after an impactful dialog along with her mom.

“My mom mentioned, ‘It’s not his fault
that he wants you so badly, and nobody else may be his mom,’” Tara exclaims.

Over Odin’s first 12 months, the household fashioned Workforce Odin, full with T-shirts bearing the Viking image. They constructed a staff of docs, psychologists, therapists, and household to help Odin. As a part of their care plan, they visited Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford.

“The household had obtained very stunning
information from the start of his life, however as an alternative of seeing it as a finality,
they noticed it as one thing they may work via and have handled,” says Waldo Concepcion, MD, director of pediatric kidney transplantation
at Stanford Youngsters’s Well being. “I’m so glad they sought a second opinion from
us so we may assist them obtain their profitable final result.”

Medical doctors with the hospital’s Pediatric Kidney Transplant program have carried out extra kidney
transplants on kids than some other docs within the Western United States.
With one-year and three-year kidney transplant charges of 100%, the staff
confidently instructed Tara and Larry that they may assist Odin.

“We wish glorious outcomes for each
single youngster that we see,” says Amy Gallo, MD.

When Odin first arrived at Packard
Youngsters’s, he was struggling. At 9 months, he weighed a mere 13 kilos and
ranked –1 p.c for top and weight on the expansion chart. It was clear that
his kidneys have been now not working. The Packard Youngsters’s transplant staff
advisable dialysis to be able to prepared him for transplant. The staff likes kids to be no less than 10
kilograms (22 kilos) for transplant, but it surely isn’t a tough and quick requirement.

“Some facilities make 20 or 30 kilograms
the cutoff, however our very superior transplant staff is able to doing
transplants at an early age efficiently. The norm is to measure success after one,
three, and 5 years, however we measure success at 10, 15, and 20 years,” Dr.
Concepcion says. “To get these outcomes, it’s a must to look past the transplant.
It’s the pre- and post-care that creates distinctive outcomes, and we observe
our sufferers for all times.”

Dialysis is a key contributor to the
transplant program’s glorious survival charges. A multidisciplinary dialysis
staff saved Odin in optimum bodily situation whereas boosting his morale with enjoyable
actions throughout dialysis. Odin additionally obtained a gastro feeding tube to assist
him develop.

“I needed to consider Odin may overcome
his kidney points, so I fought dialysis. A courageous nurse helped me get previous my
fears,” Tara says. “She implored me to think about his mind growth, and in addition
impressed upon me the necessary indisputable fact that with kidney illness we’ve a bridge to
transplant, and that bridge is dialysis.”

Odin began thriving as soon as on
dialysis. He grew, had good vitality, and was in good spirits. At 16 months he
reached enough well being for transplant. Tara and Larry have been each matches as
kidney donors, however Larry matched greatest, and he was greater than prepared to provide the
final present as a father. After a number of exams, Odin and Larry underwent tandem
surgical procedure for kidney transplant with Dr. Concepcion and Dr. Gallo.  

“I’m so impressed by the Trebesch household.
They challenged us and requested a whole lot of questions, to not be obstructive however to
ensure that Odin obtained the easiest care,” Dr. Gallo says. “They’re the
final mother and father. Tara was all the time singing to Odin or studying to him. She has a
voice like an opera singer, and strolling into his room was like strolling into
heaven.”

The couple anticipated good outcomes,
since Packard Youngsters’s is nationally ranked quantity 11 in Nephrology by U.S. Information & World Report and is the
highest-ranked kids’s hospital for nephrology in California. But, transplant
surgical procedure is inherently traumatic. Fortunately, Odin responded remarkably effectively to
his new kidney.

“To our amazement, Odin was his pleased
self after six days, and we have been residence by 10 days,” Tara says.

Tara and Larry are grateful day by day
for Odin. At this time, he’s an lively 3-year-old who’s within the 88th percentile for top and weight. He hasn’t wanted a hospital keep since his
transplant.

“At Packard Youngsters’s, we by no means flip
any youngster away with complicated kidney illness who wants transplant. We all the time discover
a approach to do it,” Dr. Concepcion says. “It’s our ardour to care for youths like
Odin.”

Odin has caught up on all of his
developmental milestones. Final fall, he began preschool.

“It’s nearly as if it by no means occurred,” Tara says. “Each Odin and Larry proceed to thrive, because of the fantastic care and help we obtained at Stanford.”
