Thank you so much for all of your prayers for Isaac! We got his test results back and his kidney numbers are good! Praise the Lord! These numbers tell us that at least Isaac’s left kidney is compensating for the shortcomings of the right kidney, so his situation doesn’t appear to be life threatening.
Our next step is a test called a VCUG on Friday, March 18th which will tell us if his bladder is refluxing urine into his kidneys as this may be the cause of the scarring in his small right kidney. He has to be mildly sedated for this procedure. We then meet with a pediatric nephrologist (children’s kidney doctor) on Monday, March 21st to discuss the results. One of our nursing friends who works at the children’s hospital told us our nephrologist is “excellent, smart, amazing, and exactly who I would want” so we’re feeling grateful to have a great specialist soon.
Prayer warriors – please lift March 18th and 21st up to our Father! Thank you!
