I spoke with Susanna's nurse today. The tests on Wednesday showed some problems with her kidneys. They said that she needs an angioplasty, but are not sure if they can do one on her with her being so tiny. We need to go back to Children's next Friday. She'll start with an echocardiogram of her heart and then we'll go meet with the Nephrologist (kidney doctor). He will examine her and determine if we can do the angioplasty or if we need to look at the kidneys through a different procedure. We will at least be there all day Friday (1st procedure at 8:30am) and may stay the night and be there Saturday as well. In the meantime, we were given all of the signs of kidney failure to be watching out for and need to get her immediately to a doctor if she shows any of them. Oh, we also need to take her in to see her regular doctor on Monday so she can have her blood pressure taken and they'll also get a urine sample. Please pray for the Lord's protection, mercy, and healing for Susanna. Thank you!
Love, Dawn |

My heart aches for you as you and your daughter experince the frustration of undergoing tests and waiting for the results. I've been through something similar with my son, and it's not easy :hugs:
You and your family will be in my prayers.
