BY September. 1855, Sandra
was in Georgetown University
Hospital and the diagnosis was
clearly nephrosis. She appeared
abnormal.
Body Fills with Fluid
Because her kidneys wouldn't
adequately perform their job. her
body filled with fluid. This
swelling is known as edema.
Sometimes if the child lies on her
side the lower eye will swell. If
she stands up the fluid may go
to her feet and her ankles and
lower legs swell.
Cortison and ACTH have been
tried without any notable sue
cess. A year ago she was taken
TO Johns Hopkins University
Hospital in Baltimore. Doctors
even removed two teeth there

Of infection.
With nephrosis. the patient
loses virtually all resistance to
infection.
Last September, Sandra was
taken to the renal laboratory at
Georgeown university Hospital.
Here, too, the Lockards received
only sympathy.
For Sandra it might be a week
or it might be two years, per-
haps a lifetime before death
strikes.
Meanwhile. Sandra is con-
stantly on antibiotics to fight
infection. A simple cold could
prove fatal.
