Medical lab error or power of prayer?

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.

Transplant Update

This morning we found out that Elizabeth's kidney has almost completely stopped producing urine.  Obviously, this is not the news we wanted to hear.  She has had a CAT scan and an ultrasound, as well as several blood tests.  The blood tests are within normal ranges; the other test results are not yet available.

This could be the first signs that her body is rejecting the kidney or it could just be a temporary "wrinkle."  At this point, my brother said that the surgeon is "not overly concerned."  We are holding on to his optimism and God's promises!  Please pray that the kidney wakes up and gets back to work!
