I was diagnosed with Nephrotic

In 2009 when he was just 2 ½ years old, we took our son Aidan in to the doctor
because we thought he had an allergic reaction to something; his eyes and belly

Syndrome.
Michael never showed any symptoms until he started
getting a "cold." We brought him in several times because of puffy
eyes and kept being told it was a sinus infection, head cold or some kind of
allergy.
