Carol's Progress

Well it has been another few weeks so I thought we better post another picture of Carol. She is definitely getting bigger and our daughter is kicking a lot. I've felt her a few times, mainly in the evening. Apparently she was also cheering on her cousin Claire this morning at Claire's baptism. She didn't kick much during the service but once Claire was being baptized she really got excited and was kicking up a storm.


We also had our second ultrasound on Friday. They confirmed it is a girl but they believe at this point that she may have a problem with one of her kidneys. This really did not make my day. From what they said one kidney is fine but the other is a duplex kidney. This means that it is segmented into two pieces with two ureters going to the bladder. They said on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being a serious problem this is a 2. That made me feel some what better but when some one tells you there is something wrong with your child it still is not pleasant. We will be having another ultra sound in a month to track how things are progressing and set up some time to meet with a pediatric kidney specialist to discuss what we can expect. We pray that everything will be fine and our daughter may just need to be carefull with certain things that are hard on kidneys, such as different medications.
