Kidney Scan

Thank you to anyone who has been praying for Macy. It was a long day for her yesterday as she had a kidney scan done at Pediatric Urology in Iowa City. She has had reocurring urinary tract and bladder infections for the past two years. Two weeks ago she had a fever of 104 along with an infection, which led her Dr. to question that her kidney's were possibly being affected. The kidney scan revealed that the fever had been the symptom of a kidney infection. Her left kidney has a small indentation which is evidence of damage from a recent infection. Her right kidney is working slightly harder than her left, but overall they are functioning normally and the damage will repair itself in time if infection does not return. She will be on an antibiotic for the next six months to reduce the risk of infection. In the meantime, all we can do is pray and follow instructions of keeping her clean and eating a proper diet. We appreciate your continued prayers for this situation.

We put our faith in the fact that God created her and he knows what is going on inside her and he will ultimately take care of her. We have to keep trusting Him.

Psalm 139:13-14
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful."
Proverbs 3: 5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

Praise the Lord that Macy is doing well. I will continue to pray for her. I understand how frustrating this can be.
