Daniel Kablutsiak of Arviat, Nunavut, says it was determination, love, and stubbornness that helped him lose enough weight to qualify as an organ donor for his son Hunter who has kidney disease.
Hunter and Daniel Kablutsiak. Hunter, 16, has kidney disease and in June he'll receive a new kidney from his dad Daniel.
"He's doing just fine, but with all these pills, that drains his energy easily compared to normal teenager," Daniel said. He focused on two things: diet and exercise. He cut back on sugar, and started walking at least five kilometres every day. When the weather was too cold, or when there were polar bears around the community — a relatively common occurrence in Arviat — he'd get his exercise in at the gym.
In March, about 13 months after Daniel started his weight-loss regimen, he had reached his goal. He now weighs 195 pounds. He got the call on his birthday last month, confirming that he was accepted as an organ donor for Hunter. The transplant is scheduled for June.
