Asher's Kidney

The radiologist looked at the ultrasound and concluded, "The left kidney displays moderate to severe hydronephrosis." That means that his kidney is swollen, which is what we understood the problem to be from the beginning. So, they're referring us to a pediatric urologist at Loyola University Medical Center near Chicago. This problem is not uncommon and is medically treatable. We actually have an appointment scheduled for Monday. We just need all the insurance paperwork to be pushed through in a timely manner. Thank you for continuing in prayer with us. "I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth" (Psalm 34:1).

He's certainly a cute little guy. We'll continue to pray for his health and peace for you two as you await to hear about treatment options. Hope that all goes well at the appt on Monday.
