Calynn's Diagnosis

Mark Lee his wife Catherine first found out about Calynn's condition in May when her fever hit as high as 40 degrees. After visiting the doctor, they learned that her kidney has been infected with an unusual amount of white blood cells in her urine.

Calynn was later diagnosed with Glomerulonephritis, a rare condition where her autoimmune system would attack healthy cells in her body by mistake, specifically her kidneys; a condition very similar to Lupus.

Calynn has to visit the hospital thrice a month and have since stopped attending school.

“She does not cry often; she isn't sure what exactly she's down with… to be honest, she's very brave,” - Mark.

In the public post, Catherine wrote that Calynn is a brave girl who's never cried no matter how many needles were injected into her except for once, when her doctor injected the wrong part~
