Emory's suggestion

So we were at a campout with our Church class last weekend when Emory made a suggestion to me. I was wearing a button up the front big jacket that had a drawstring hood (the strings were hanging on either side of my neck). While Em was sitting in my lap she grabbed one of the strings and looked at it a little funny (she turned her head to the side a little...then started to smile) and then said, " Okay Mommie, first we are going to stick this in your privates (holding up the string to me)...." Not sure what she said after that because I grabbed the string and her hand and laughed out loud pretty hard. I guess the VCUG taught us more than we bargained for.

An Emory Update

After 6 phone calls ( I told ya'll I would be persistent!!) over the last few days, we finally have learned that Emory does have reflux. That is all we know right now and all they will tell us. We see her specialist next Wed. where he will let us know what degree she has and the next steps. Please continue to pray for this to be something for her to grow out of without surgery and without being on antibiotics for a year or two.

We will let you know more when we know more. We continue to covet your prayers!

Ephesians 3:20

Look What We Made

We have been having so much fun creating new things around here. I made the outfit above out of things I already had including jeans that were too short. It started out as a Halloween shirt and quickly turned into a year round outfit. Super easy too!

Today Emory and I did a bow making project from EasyMakeBows.com. They send you a bow kit that is so easy to put together Emory did it by herself with little help from me! She is 3 years old! And she is so proud. I think it turned out great, but I couldn't get her to model it for me yet....

And then the picture below is of a skirt I made Emory that is fun for fall. It has layers of tulle all the way around. Super easy and Super cute!

Emory's Unique Kidneys

We don't know too much right now. We are having a series of tests. It all started a month ago when Emory had a bladder infection. After the infection cleared she still had blood and protein in her urine so we were going to see a uriologist...but another infection quickly insued and turned into a UTI and she began hurting in her kidney area. We are getting over that infection and are now working with an kidney doctor at Cooks.
She has had repeat urninalysis' and we had a renal ultrasound that showed Emory's kidneys are different sizes a little more that what normal would be. So with the repeat infections and asymetrical kidneys we now will do another test called a VCUG this Wednesday to do x-rays of her bladder, ureter and kidneys to see if she is having backflow (reflux) and if so where it is happening.
We should know more when we get the result of that test. It will tell us if she needs surgery to fix this or if it is something she may grow out of. So until then, we request your prayers.
