One Kidney Bean short of Chili....

or Weekend Update with Anchorman Daddy!!!!


Today we found out that we have one kidney. Well, we have two, just that the left one isn't really working and is small and is broke.

All that she has that she must make it through and she now has to make it through life with one kidney. Wow.

But the one kidney is kicking butt. It says, I can handle it. I can do this. It is doing it. Everything is fine. They would not have known about the kidney if she wasn't preemie. A lot of people go through life with one kidney and don't even know it.

AND she is physically just 2-3 weeks behind gestational age in physical issues. The doctor today said that this is fantastic. All that she has made it through and she is only 2-3 weeks behind physically is amazing.

AND they do agree that she was 25 weeks mature coming out of the womb than the 27 weeks she was diagnosed.

That gives her a 30% chance of survival in the first month......beat that.

That gives her a 33% chance of having some major issue in her life. Had that ROP, one kidney, CLD. Wow.

She is also not doing bad on the bottle. She is coming back around where she was before the crib.

All in all.......an amazing week. All in all, still here and still on our journey.

Wow.

I really have not a lot to say here. One kidney. CLD. ROP.

Living.

Wow.
