A Glimmer of Hope

Keira's testing is next week and the tension is growing. I took her to see Dr. Jones yesterday, because she had been having an extreme sensitivity in her lady areas to the point she didn't even want her underwear touching her. She was wearing them literally around her knees. I thought maybe she had a yeast infection, but Dr. Jones told me that what he believes is happening is that she has a bend in her urethra. He said sometimes as girls grow the urethra gets bent then as they grow is straightens out. He said that it causes urine leakage and discomfort.

I told him that Childrens hospital said she has a neurogenic bladder and he said she doesn't think that she is neurogenic. He said he wouldn't be surprised if her test results come back normal, but he wants to see the results after the tests are done. We'll see... it's nice to have a glimmer of hope right now but she has been having urninary problems for like 2 years. I'm not sure if what he is describing can account for the extent of problems she has had. My biggest concern is about the spinal column cyst she had as a baby and the possibility that it is still there and causing problems.

So anyway... please continue your prayers for Keira and I will let you all know what the test results reveal in the next couple weeks.
