Fix garage concrete slab edge

Garage floor is one year old and when I moved in the front lip of the concrete had bad efflorescence from what I would believe is a poor concrete sealed surface and water pooling between the slab and the aggregate driveway. I've siliconed the gap but every time it rains the efflorescence still comes up a lot less. I've use some mortar repair patch on a section, just done is in the 5th photo and 6th photo is what it was like before. Should I use the concrete repair patch through the whole rest of the section as it won't be thick enough to have decent adhesion or should I just use a concrete sealer over it all and be done with it. Anyway I can get that whole lip section better looking like grinding with a concrete grinder?

13 year old with IgAN

Started about 2 years ago when my son got really sick 1-2 times he would get brown/red urine. We had initially put it down to UTI along with the GP. Antibiotics didn't seem to do much and when we saw the specialist last year he diagnosed it as IgAN.

He just has the typical symptoms of getting the brown/red urine when he gets sick with a disease that affects his his throat/mucus layers as I believe that is where most of the defective IgA1 is made.

Being so young I can only hope that his disease will either go into remission or have very slow progression. From the studies I've read there aren't any immediate feasible treatments at his age.

I would like to know if anyone from the community has grown up with IgAN and if there is anything I should be doing at his age. At the moment just seems like all I can do is pray and hope for the best.

Many thanks beforehand.

I use the makita 12v on the road for work, I keep the Bosch 12v as backup in the car and have finally gotten into the 12V Milwaukee line up and have to say it looks nice, it feels nice (driver is a bit on the heavy site) and I feel I can take it with me instead of my 18V tools and not worry longer screws won't go in. I am extra impressed by the overall size of the Impact which I would think is brushless (Yes I know it's unfair because the Bosch is not).

Owning these is literally a must have life experience.

This is the edge of the garage. After half a day of rain this appears, seems to have been happening for a while so much the concrete has come apart in areas. Only 1 year old. I'm putting it down to shit concrete? Going to just use some concrete sealer then epoxy once some other work is done.
Never seen something so rapid though so wondering if something else is up

The feed seems to have buffering issues/out of sync and appears to be delayed by a few seconds compared to the YouTube feed. TV is brand new. Android 12. Was working fine the first time but subsequent times just seems like a delay in buffering all the time

I'm the defect followup supervisor and the supervisor that let the renderers off with this job was terminated for basically never being there. Because this section was a deepened edge beam it is pretty much missing the damp proof course and the renderers finished about 15m length of this panel like this at the bottom, wonky and not a straight finish at all. I'm proposing repair grout/mortar against the concrete face then having the renderers finish flush. Downside is that along the whole strip the patching will be very evident, alternatively it's just the slab sticking out of the grount plus a big gap for termites to get in.
