WENTZVILLE, Mo. — A Wentzville neighborhood lit up green Thursday to hold a very special parade for a resilient family. Jaxson Dreiling is only 10 years old and he was diagnosed with kidney disease and needed a transplant. He was able to get a new kidney, and following the surgery, the family's Wentzville neighborhood held a parade to welcome them home. 'Last January 2022, Jackson was diagnosed with kidney disease. Kind of came out of nowhere, and took us all by surprise. And it quickly progressed to dialysis by March,' Jaxson's mom Kate Dreiling said.
