Can't Wait Till July

Hello Everyone,
Today Abby is here at Cook's getting her monthly Chemo Therapy Treatment. Today we got great news, her doctors talked and Abby can start her transplant workup in July. What does that mean? I'm glad you ask. This means that in July, we begin the process of her Transplant, she will see specialist, and people can get tested to be a donor. We did find out that our family can be donor too. This is such amazing news to us! I Hope one of us can donate a Kidney and she will not have to go on a list. I know many of you have offered to be donor as well and believe me, if one us does not match we will let you know...
When Abby heard the news, she was calm as could be and said "Good, then I can eat pizza whenever I want." aww kids are so funny.
Abby is doing so so good. Her blood pressure have been good, her dialysis is going great and she looks amazing. She a normal kid again, while a normal kid with a Cather...
Abby will be going to Kidney Camp in two weeks and she anxiously awaits her trip. I am very sad to let her go, but I've been pumping her up, so she can go and see other kids with her condition and feel like a normal little girl again. She is awesome, her strength phenomenal, her ability to take things so well is only the power of God!
Keep her in your prayers as July is coming soon!

walk with Abby

Hello Friends,






Hello Friends,

Abby has been doing so so good. She seems to get better every single day. We went to Scottish Rite a few weeks to see the specialist in regards to her Vasculitis blood disorder. They said All her labs are good, and she on the road to recovery. We did find out that in some cases this type of blood disorder can attack the lungs as well, but it only attacked her kidneys Thank God and she has no signs of lung problems! It was uplifting to her the Doctors say she will be able to lead a normal life once she has her transplant.
Abby is doing good being back in school, she looks forward to swimming this summer! She has four more monthly chemo therapy treatments left, then the doctors will reevaluate her Vaculitis and then if all her labs are good she can start the process for a transplant. Continue to keep her in your prayers, my Abby is a miracle and God reminds of that each and every day.
Thank you for your love and support!
