Turning Point

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for our family over the last year as I know many of you have been praying since my husband left for training and I was expecting. Yes, this Sunday will be one year ago.

So much has happened since then, and so many of you have allowed God to use you to show Himself faithful to us.

Next week will also be 8 months since baby Daniel met Jesus at 8 months gestation. Tomorrow is likely to be a turning point in my dialysis as well. My doctor thinks we may have reached the point where we will be long-term for my kidney function since my labs have been pretty consistent for over a month now. (God is still in control though, and I would love to see the doc’s face when my labs improve again. He keeps saying I am not normal!)

With that in mind, I should find out tomorrow the results from a 24-hr analysis we did the first of this week to determine if I can go to treatment one day a week or…..maybe come off completely!! The doctor estimates my kidney function as right on the bubble for having to have dialysis or not.

From what I understand, if I am able to come off, we will test regularly over the next few months to be sure I am maintaining myself and can stay off till I get a kidney. (We know my kidney function is still low enough at this time to qualify for a kidney, so we are moving forward with that process.) Some of you have also said you are willing to consider giving me one of your kidneys. I will always be grateful and humbled by every offer. If you are interested, you can start the process here. More information on the process here.

No matter what, I know God is still in control. He has me in His hand, and I pray this journey will bring glory to Him and more people to the Kingdom!
