Abby

Well, I'm not sure how to start. Abby has not been feeling well for about 3 weeks. She first went to the doctor for a rash and they said it was strep, and then her eyes started to look funny and we went to the doctor and they said that it was allergies. And then we went to the doctor because she had stomach aches, bathroom problems, and very pale. And last time we went to the doctor she was starting to turn yellow. The whites of her eyes have turned yellow and her skin is also yellow. So after her dance class on Tuesday night Dan and I took her down to Primary Children's Hospital to see if they could help us figure out what is going on with Abby. So after a few blood tests and an xray they decided they needed to run a few more tests to answer a few more questions. So she was admitted and we were told that her liver is enlarged, her pancreas is swollen, and her gall bladder is bulging which is causing the jaundice. So they scheduled her for a MRI the next day, which wasn't until 6:00pm and she couldn't eat or drink all day. That was such a hard thing to try and explain to a three year old. Anyway they thought that they would find a gall stone which is blocking everything but that wasn't the case. So they said until more blood work is done they are not sure what is causing the problems. So they sent us home. We did some blood work on Friday and her levels went up again so we are praying that the levels will go down on Monday. We are not sure exactly what will happen after that. I know that the Lord blesses us each and everyday. And I just ask that each of you will ask for Abby to be blessed.
