...wonderful

Today was a good day.

Good news all around.

Claire is doing amazing. She had her annual transplant evaluations/tests/urine collections/blood work the past two weeks and today we met with her doctor to get all the results. Her kidney function couldn't be better and oxalate is coming out of her body very well. Liver function looks perfect too. Claire's Dr. was very pleased with how well Claire is doing in every aspect of her health! Things couldn't be better. Well, I suppose Claire's eating could be better...but we're all being patient with that. She's making progress, very slowly.

And Mabel. Miss Mabel Sue. We got the results from her genetic testing today as well. And the news we've all be waiting for is WONDERFUL!

She is a carrier of the disease, but NOT affected by it. So she's like me. A carrier of the gene...but not affected by the disease as Benson and Clarie both are. So if she happened to marry someone who was also a carrier, their children could have PH...but otherwise, she's home free!! All that said, our doctor is sure to mention that she doesn't like to take the results of one study and assume it is 100% conclusive/correct. If two tests confirm the same result, then we can rest assured that all is well. So the second test we will do to help confirm the first will be a number of urine collections. We will do one when Mabel is 2 months old, and then periodically after that. BUT the initial results are promising, positive, and exactly what we hoped and prayed for!!

What a blessing.

What a peaceful way to end this year FULL of blessings and miracles in our lives!
