Day 29... It's about time....

So as you all know we have been waiting and waiting and waiting for Abby's Kidney to work. The biggest sign that it is starting to work is it makes urine. Well today Abby had 250cc of urine. Now that is not a ton but the most she has had until now is 10-15cc so 250 is awesome! We are very happy about it. So her kidney might not be 100% back yet but it is trying and seeing some progress makes this journey a little easier. We hope it continues to make more and we know it will. Abby is doing so good, she is getting stronger each day. She is doing all she can to get better so we know she will.
Now of course we need her Kidney to continue to make urine and get better. She has a lot of excess fluid still mostly in her legs. So her kidney working would help her get rid of that. Her Pancreas really needs to heal as well. It is still leaking lipase. She has a drain that helps get rid of that fluid but they are thinking she might need another drain. They are also wondering if she might need surgery to repair her pancreas. But they really aren't sure what part of the pancreas is injured. So we don't know what the right decision is. I know that it really scares Abby to think about having surgery again. It scares us all so we don't know what she should do. But the surgery is minor and wouldn't take long at all. Nothing like a liver transplant. But we don't know that it is necessary either. So we just want more answers.
So today has been a good day. Signs of her kidney working and she did really good during PT. Miracles happen and our prayers have been answered. Now we need to pray for her Kidney to continue to work and for her Pancreas to heal. Once her Kidney and Pancreas are healed and working properly she should be able to come home. That would be awesome. So keep the prayers coming they are working!
