Rewind: Thursday

Thursday was a day full of mixed of emotions. We were heartbroken to learn that our dear friends did not receive an EP for their son (emigration permit...this is needed for their son to come home from Korea) for January. Our friends were matched with their precious son in April (after waiting more than 19 months for a referral) and have been waiting 8 months to bring him home. We love you sweet friends and are praying everyday that your sweet boy will get an EP in February!!! Please dear Lord, help this sweet boy come home very soon to his family!!

While our hearts were sad for our friends, we were also joyful to receive some great news from Beau's doctor. We headed to Scottish Rite early Thursday morning for Beau's second kidney scan.

The hospital was all decorated for Christmas!

I asked the nurses to please put the IV in his foot and they were happy to do so. Our prayers were answered and they were able to start the IV on the very first try!!
Beau didn't love this part, but once the IV was in, he was pretty content.

He was strapped down for the kidney scan and cried for the first 20 minutes and then he slept the remaining 40 minutes. We were so thankful that he slept through the majority of the test.

When the test was over, we were given a cd of the test results. We left the hospital and headed to the doctor's office. The doctor showed us how the left kidney was now draining!! Yippee!!! It still does not work as well as the right kidney, but it was a huge improvement. We don't have to go back to the doctor until April for another kidney check! Huge praise!!!
