I heard from my brother last night about 10:30 and they are rejoicing! As many of you know, yesterday morning Elizabeth (Liz) had routine bloodwork that showed her hemoglobin had dropped significantly. In addition, the new kidney appeared to have stopped producing urine. With these two "red flags," she was sent for a CAT scan and ultrasound. We sent out a rather urgent petition for prayer. Before the test results were available her surgeon told them that he wasn't "overly concerned." We prayed, nonetheless.
Late evening, they repeated the hemoglobin test and it was NORMAL! The lab said the earlier test was an error. The ultrasound results showed nothing of concern. In addition, they realized that the lack of urine was due to a small blockage in the bladder. The kidney was WORKING, but nothing was exiting.
By 10:30 pm, she was getting ready to go for a late evening stroll and had been eating solid food. So, I am pondering the question--Lab error or power of prayer? We don't have to know exactly what happened, but we can't deny we serve an awesome and powerful God. Our God is healer!
We're so grateful for your prayers and I will continue to keep you updated on her progress. Today is my sister's birthday and she should be heading home this morning.
