Sunday morning update

10:50 a.m.
Alison's creatinine level (a marker for kidney function)rose to 4 today. This is certainly concerning but expected. The good news is that she is beginning to have clinical signs of her kidney's recovering (labs lag behind but should start to reflect beginnings of recovery soon). The doctors will do an ultrasound to make sure that the blood flow to the kidneys is good. The very challenging news is that Alison will have to go back on tube feeding. This is very upsetting for her. The doctor will be back shortly to place the tube once again. Please pray that she have the strength to endure this next leg of the journey. We will update soon.
Love,
Joe and Karen

    Hi Alison - Your strength during all of this has me amazed! You are such a determined girl who is certainly no quitter! When the chips are down, you fight harder! I love that about you! You're such a great example for so many of us! I've followed your journey for quite some time and I tell myself that I can never think any hurdle is too tough to jump and I think of all the hurdles you've conquered! I'm not sure if you realize this or not, but you're a role model for many of us! I've always been fond of people who aren't quitters. You know, when the going gets tough....the tough get going!! You're in our prayers ALWAYS!! Pleaase know that we are sending you lots of love and good wishes and for the sun to shine brighter in your world! Be well Alison... Cindy & Alyssa xoxo
