monday

hello all

doctor tomorrow

thank you all

hi all

Kidney update..

well i talked to the doctors office again today. I found out that my kidney is only working at less than 20% and  will never work at more than that. We are going to try to save it..

The doctor said that he is going to try to only go in four times to get the stone all out. That means more time under however less stress on me and my kidney.  He also said there is a chance we could start all this and the kidney die and have to be removed.

So with that being said please keep us in your prayers. I am praying for the outcome to happen quicker than what he is expecting so that i can go back to work and take care of my children..

I pray that each of you are doing well

Looking at things different

I talked to the doctors

Well the doctor called. My kidney is at low function. He said with this type of problem we would be best to try to save the kidney. It is better to have a low function kidney than NO kidney... So I will find out tomorrow when i will go into the hospital for the first operation. This will take many many times in the hospital. Please keep us in your prayers.

God bless

Staghorn Kidney stone..(nasty pic)

I have been trying to figure out a way to show you all what kind of kidney stone i have.. So  I was talking to a nurse friend and she said go online and find pictures and post them.... I thought why did  i not think of that.. Anyway I have looked and I have found one that is a good example of what my kidney looks like right now.. except for the fact that i have hydronephrosis on the left kidney that means i have unin backing up and my kidney is swelling. That is why i am pain all the time..   The people who read my test results at the hospital said they have NEVER seen one this big... NEVER... When ever i do anything i do it all the way....

This is a picture of the kidney cut in half.. LIke i said this is NOT my kidney but will give you a good idea of what i am going thru..

the part that looks like a knockle and the fingers is the kidney stone. Mine has grown to the point where it is pushing the walls of the kidney.. That is another reason for pain..

I will hopefully hear from the doctors tomorrow on if the kidney is working or not. Please keep us in your prayers. People from church are going to take care of the children for me while i am sick. Priase the lord.

God bless

My children are HOME!!!

I am so happy.. my children are home.. It was so nice to go to the church and pick up my babies.. yes i know they are not babies. But to me they will always be babies.... YOu moms out there know what i mean.. :-)

I have been resting and listening to the children about all there fun. My next to the oldest daughter stepped out of her confort zone while she was on her trip.. She sung at the nursing home.... She loves to sing and has a great voice however we have never been able to get her to sing.. She did on the mission trip.. .. Priase the lord...

I am in a lot of pain still. I get tired real quick when i get up to do anything.. And i am still waiting to hear from the doctor. I am sure i will hear something on monday...

I pray that each of you are having a blessed weekend. Elizabeth is canning pickles right now and jackie and rebecca are picking peas out of the garden.. Steven is mowing the yard he said it needed done bad.. bless his heart.. James is vacuming and picking up a few things..

Well got to go and rest some
