A Blogger We All Know And Adore Has Fallen Sick
Written by, Garry Conn on May 30th, 2008.
On April 16th, 2008 my good online friend, Brennan Kingsland, feel ill with acute kidney failure due to chronic kidney disease. This really isn’t a very good thing. For those that might have forgotten, the main function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess water from the blood. Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys partly or completely lose their ability to carry out normal functions. This is dangerous because water, waste, and toxic substances build up that normally are removed from the body by the kidneys.
Chronic kidney disease is when one suffers from gradual and usually permanent loss of kidney function over time. This happens gradually over time, usually months to years. Chronic kidney disease is divided into five stages of increasing severity:
I am unsure where Brennan is at with her battle for recovery, I know that she has been visiting her doctor very often as they have been attempting to treat her with medication. She has been updating me via email with progress updates and overall this has been a very touch and go situation for her. Unfortunately, just this morning, Brennan sent me a very brief email stating that things have started to go in the wrong direction again.
Brennan Kingsland is a determined woman who wants to improve education for our children. She loves animals and has owned and maintained a volunteer animal shelter for many years. She is a very free spirited, gifted and intelligent writer and publisher.
Brennan Kindsland is an amazing individual who values life. In fact, a little over 20 years ago when her best friend and loving husband suffered from a major heart attack, she immediately made a career change to be come a Critical Care Registered Nurse just so that she could make sure that her loving husband was going to be receiving the best care over the years. Quite a few years later and after things were going much better for her husband, she decided it was safe to go back to her career in publishing.
After witnessing how Brennan was willing to make major changes in her life just to help someone that she cared dearly about, today it is your turn. While I am not asking you to become a nurse or a doctor, I am asking that you provide a donation of money that will greatly support and help Brennan in a time of need.
For everyone who reads this announcement, please understand that any amount you are willing to donate will help and her in her journey towards having the best quality of life while enabling her to build strength to fight her illness. With your help, I have no doubt in my mind that Brennan Kingland will push through this challenging time in her life.

I’m sorry to hear that Brennan is sick. Please send along to her my thoughts and prayers.
Oh, I don’t like hearing this kind of news. In just the short time I’ve known Brennan, she has struck me as a very kind and compassionate person. I was reading a comment she left to one of her reader’s the other day. The sincerity in her “online voice” was crystal clear and I am hopeful that it made the impact it was intended to to the reader she was responding to as it sounded like that person really needed help.
Garry — Made a donation and will post this tomorrow on MasonWorld.com at 6AM.
This post touched my heart so much. My first husband had kidney failure and we had to go the dialysis route. We chose to do it at home and keep his life as close to normal as possible. Much like what Brennan did for her husband, I did for mine.
I do hope and pray things go well for her, it is something I wish on no one.
Knowing Brennan, she is going to bounce right back like a bunny! Your comments will only give her big smiles on her face when she returns from getting some needed rest.
Brennan is a very gifted and kind hearted individual. The blogosphere wouldn’t be the same without her. She has helped thousands of people in her life and now its time to pay it back.
Mark I have tons of respect for you and I think you have done such a wonderful thing for Brennan. She is such a giving individual and it really is nice to see that there are others in this world that carry the same characteristics. Thank you so much for your support.
Brennan is very strong willed and will be Blessed with all the support that is being offered to her.
This time Garry you gave me a very bad new.
I’ve made a few conversations with Brennan on the Bloggersmessageboard, she is very smart and I love her humour. Knowing she is ill, makes me feel very bad. Strangely I was thinking about her in the last days, because I noticed that in the last months she wasn’t anymore present in your comments.
I’ll provide a (small) help, with a donation and republishing your post.
Brennan, I hope to read you again soon !
ciao
