Jace’s family knew he would be born with a kidney condition, and at six weeks old, theyfound out his left kidney didn’t work. In June 2018, Jace was having fevers, not eating, not sleeping and complaining of pain in his tummy all the time. Urology tests didn’t show anything was wrong but they could see things weren’t good. Later that year, Jace’s parents approved a surgery to remove his kidney and ureter, not knowing if it would solve Jace’s health issues. Since his surgery, Jace has grown like a weed and is back to being his funny, silly self! Jace’s parents know surgery was the right choice for their son, and feel like to have the Stollery so close to home.
