Praise!

We are so thankful for all of our blessings and today reminded us how blessed we truly are! Macy was diagnosed in Aug 2008 with kidney reflux and has been on daily antibiotics since then to prevent further UTIs. She has done well since her diagnosis and hasn't had any recurrent UTI's during this time (praise God!). Today we went to have her retested to see if she had grown out of this yet. We both knew that most likely she wouldn't have since most cases we hear about take several years to heal, but we had hope and prayers. The testing process isn't the most comfortable thing, but Macy did pretty good. She cried a lot but didn't fight it too much, having pa pa (pacy) and her blanket helped too (more things to be thankful for!). Anyway we are thrilled to say that Macy has outgrown her kidney reflux!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes when I was watching the xray machine, I kept waiting to see it and then thought maybe she has but didn't want to get too excited till I heard it from the radiologist. We are still waiting to talk to her pediatrician, but we are looking at stopping her meds and no more testing hopefully!!! Now we can start that potty training process that we have been dreading!! :)
Thank you to all our family and friends that prayed for Macy today, we are blessed with your friendship. Here are some latest pictures of the kids from our lazy weekend! I couldn't get Connor to smile right, but I love the pic of Macy looking up to him. She does love her big brother!

Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! I am so glad to hear that Macy does not have kidney reflux anymore. I think it was that trip to Disney that cured her. :) Hope you guys are having a good week and maybe we will see you at the zoo here in a little bit.
