A Praise, and Prayers needed
I'm sorry I have taken so long to post this, it's been crazy busy around here.
We went to San Francisco last Tuesday to find out the result of David's MRI. The results are fluid on the knee (fake knee) and fribrosis of the tendon. No tumor!! Praise God for that! Such a relief! He also had his 6-month oncology appointment, and Connie will be ordering his echo and send a request for his labs. She said we can do the echo in Carson!! Woohoo! Don't have to make that trip to Oakland Children's Hospital! Sooooo happy for that! So, everything looks stable as far as David goes. Whew.
Now on to the prayer request. My baby granddaughter, Olivia, has been really sick. They took her to the doctor and she has a urinary tract infection, so they did the ultrasound on her kidneys (she's 6 months old now) and discovered that the one kidney is still swollen. Therefore, they have been referred to a pediatric urologist. {For those of you who may not know, when Lucy was pregnant with Olivia it was discovered that Olivia's umbilical cord only had 2 vessels instead of the normal 3. 2-vessel cords can cause heart and/or kidney problems. The only 'problem' with her heart is a heart murmur.} The closest pediatric urologist is in Sacramento at UC Davis. That is about 2-2 1/2 hours away. We just have no pediatric specialties in northern Nevada!! Anyway, my son and daughter-in-love are waiting on a call from them to schedule the appointment to see Olivia. Please pray that they can get in very soon. The waiting is the worst part! Also. we leave on June 26th to go to Texas, and we would like that appointment over with before then. Please pray that we get some answers about Olivia's kidney; and, if necessary, a treatment plan.
Thank you so much for your prayers, I really appreciate them. We feel like there is this little black cloud hanging over the Koury Klan. The clouds opened a wee bit with the good news of David's results, but there is other stuff going on. Please pray for everything to work out. God knows what the issues are, I don't want to burden you with details, or bother you with my problems. If I am not able to post again before we leave for Texas, please pray for our safety; we are driving there. Quick trip; leave Thursday morning get there Friday evening; leave Sunday morning get home Monday evening. So 4 days in the car with a 3-year-old and a 7-month-old (Olivia turns 7 months old the day we leave). It will be interesting, and we will make memories! Actually, they are both good in the car........
Thank you again for all your prayers. Thank you for checking in on David and the Koury Klan. God bless you all. We love you!
