Update on DD - something new to worry about

[Liz]

We went to the cardiologist yesterday and everything looked great with her heart.

Physical therapy and occupational therapy is going well and she's making great progress in both areas. She is having walking casts put on both legs from the knees down to stretch her heel cords which became extremely tight from her not walking for so long. That will happen some time next week we think and she'll have them on for 2-3 weeks.

The upsetting thing yesterday was being told her kidneys aren't working as well as they have been. Her transplant meds are extremely hard on her kidneys but they've always been hanging in there at around 75% function. The latest test showed only around 45% function so we are seeing a kidney specialist on May 15th to see if there are any recommendations or if the test was a fluke and we should repeat it or something.

I have a lot of faith but I still ask myself sometimes how much can one child be expected to endure??? Thanks for remembering Laura in your prayers.

Tons of PD going out from this Laura to your Laura!

I'm so sorry, Liz.

I do know from having followed your stories that Laura is an amazing fighter. I will keep her in my prayers that this test proves to be a fluke.

I have never taken her off my prayer list. I will continue to pray that she will recover from all this, and also that the test was a fluke. Prayers and pd for your Laura.

 

[Rajah]

Good news on her improvements, but I'm sorry to hear she's having yet more trouble from a new source. Sending more P&PD that way.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Sorry to hear that, Liz, but we do know the power of prayer, you guys sure do. Little Laura will be in mine again. Hoping improvement is not far off. {{Hugs}}

Prayers for you, Laura and your family. There always seems to be something to worry about. Hopefully the test will show that all is well.

My DD sees many doctors also and sometimes I think because they do the doctors tend to pick up all the things that they normally wouldn't. Sometimes thats good and sometimes it just causes unecessary worry.

Hugs for you. Laura is a fighter and I know things will turn out fine.

Glad to hear your DD's heart is doing well.

I will say prayers for Laura. It is ashame someone so young has to go through things like this. I do hope the results do come back a fluke.

Sending prayers and PD to Laura, you and your family.

I will continue to pray for her Liz. I too have been following Laura's struggles and victories and think about her often. I hold her close in my heart. I hope the specialist sees soemthing that is an easy fix or that the test were a fluke. {{{{Hugs}}}} to her and to you.
