I've been trying to keep my posts in order, but I can't let another day go by where I don't put my feelings and emotions into words on this blog. As I write this I'm still in shock. I'm in awe. I'm humbled. I'm grateful. I'm amazed. I'm happy. I'm relieved.
For the past two years, before our Brooklyn was born, we were made aware of a kidney condition she had called hydronephrosis. If you want to read more about her story check out these posts:

Another Update
Summer 2013
Fast forward 9 months and I took Brooklyn back to TCH this March for another ultrasound to finally see what her kidneys were doing. Our urologist thought that her Hydronephrosis was gone last summer, but with the deterioration and dehydration, we just weren't sure.
After a 30 minute ultrasound and meeting with the doctor the next day... she was amazed and shocked! The first thing the urologist asked me was if Brooklyn had surgery?!?! What? No mam, she didn't! Why? Then she spoke the next words... "BROOKLYN'S HYDRONEPHROSIS IS COMPLETELY GONE!" I just sat there with my jaw dropped. I wasn't sure if I wanted to laugh or cry. All I remember saying was Thank you Jesus!! She talked a little more about her dilation looking normal and her kidney growth was inline with what it should be (although one kidney is still larger then the other one).
My next question was in regards to the deterioration that showed up in her last ultrasound. It was my understanding that once damage was done to the kidney it couldn't be fixed and that's how it would be from that point on. So you can imagine the shock that came when the doctor said Brooklyn's cortex was thick, inline, and exactly the size it should be! Wait... I'm sorry.. Can you say that again? Basically.... the deterioration that was on Brooklyn's kidney in the last ultrasound wasn't anywhere!! Her kidney was completely healed!! What an answer to prayer!! This was not at all what I was expecting but I'm praising God for it and know without a shadow of a doubt it was his healing hand that touched our little girl.
It's so surreal that we were told no more appointments, no more ultrasounds, and the urologist hoped she never had to see Brooklyn again! It's also crazy to look at Brooklyn and realize she doesn't have this condition anymore. We learned of her kidney issue while she was in utero, before she was born, so this has always been a part of her! Thank you Jesus for this blessing!
