Hallie is back home

We spent the last two days at Children's Hospital. Hallie had some tests run and we are home now but exhausted. The good news is that God has favored my desires in His answers to my prayer. There is still need for further testing but I want to be sure that I have taken time to glorify God for being with us through a stressful few days.

First, Hallie's kidney is not experiencing reflux which is a very good thing. It appears her kidney just has a narrow feed into the bladder. We have to find out if her other kidney does most of the work. If that is the case, then we just need to keep tabs on her kidneys as she grows and things should be fine. If she need more productivity out of this kidney she will need to have a small surgery but it sounds like it should fix the problem.

Second, we have to wait until early next week to find out results from blood work for testing Hallie's liver. It appears that MRI scans show that Hallie has a collection of blood vessels in one area. So that is what was seen on the ultrasound. This means that she most likely does not have any cancerous material in her liver. If it is indeed the blood vessels, they will actually reduce in size as she gets older. Again, to be certain that this isn't cancerous we have to wait for some blood test results but the odds are quite astronomical at this point.

Praise God for hearing my prayers and give us joy. Hallie was incredible throughout the entire hospital process. She hardly ever fused and she even seems to be getting on a better feeding schedule. She really amazes me as she is only two weeks old but seems to be learning things already.

Well our household needs some rest so that is where I am heading next.
