news

The dr. called this afternoon with results from Kenah's test. With the blood work, they tested three levels - IGA, IGG and IGM. One of her levels (IGA) is low. This puts her at increased risk of infection, which could explain part of what Kenah's been through. However, because she's only deficient in one area, they do not feel she needs any transfusions at this time. The plan is to repeat labs every 3-4 months to keep a close eye on her levels. We are thankful as we know the news could have been worse, but we still want our baby to be lifted up to the Great Physician, knowing only He can heal and make her whole.
Kenah is still scheduled to go back to the allergist for complete allergy testing in two weeks. She will continue the steroid until that time. She's experiencing a few side-effects from the meds, which has been very unpleasant for her.

Here's just one more example of how awesome God is and how He works: Whitney showed up at my house to spend some time with me only five minutes before I got the call from the dr. All week, my mom has shared that she feared I'd hear the news that Kenah had a deficiency and be alone. God knew and He didn't want me to be alone, so He sent a friend to be by my side. Thanks, Whit! ..."I will never leave you or forsake you"... He is good! So good.


Goodnight.
