March is National Kidney Month, and kidneys are the most needed organ nationally and in the state of Indiana.  More than 1,100 Hoosiers are currently waiting for a kidney transplant - including 3-year-old Henry Whitacre.  "I wouldn't even say it's a burden, it's just our life," said Henry's father, Kevin.  The procedures started for Henry before he was even born.  Henry was diagnosed with a bladder outlet obstruction, but his kidney never fully formed. Doctors performed two surgeries to try to save his kidneys but neither one was successful.
