It's been a while since I have updated. Gillian and Grace are both doing well. Thankfully we have avoided all the sickness going around.

Gillian had her one year post transplant on December 8th! I can't believe it's been a year already. We had a doctors apt. in St. Louis. Gillians labs are still looking great. Gillian didn't have to have a biopsy thank goodness. What she did have was a GFR (Glomerular Filtration rate). It's one of the most acurate rates to show a kidney function. She had to get an IV for the test and they did a bunch of blood draws for 4 or 5 hours. We are supposed to hear the results today sometime. She did really well with the test even though it took 3 tries to get the IV.

Grace finally got her official diagnosis. She does not have polycysitic kidneys like the first hospital though. SHe has what is called Multicystic dysplastic kidney disease. What Gillian had but this time add cyst on top of it. My poor kids cant seem to catch a break (or me at that)!

Her number are a bit higher than what Gillians were at 2 months. Pretty much we have the same plan as Gillian. Get her to 22 pounds for transplant. :( Unfortunatly Grace got my blood type just like Gillian did. That was the hold up on Gillian getting her kidney. We waited for almost a year on the UNOS list for Gillian because B+ is not the most popular blood type and my insurance will not pay for a living donor.

That's really all that has been going on. I will try and let you know the results of Gillians test soon.
