We had bit of a frustrating day today. Biopsy results from yesterday showed some scar tissue on his kidney, but nothing of too much concern. Some of his other blood numbers have been off a little, but the primary issue remains difficulty keeping Cason fully hydrated. He drinks way more than most kids during the day but he still gets dehydrated very easily, which ends up impairing his kidney function. Doctors haven't been able to give us a solid reason for this. The weekend Nephrologist came in this morning and basically told us that they didn't know what was going on but that he was going to send Cason home today anyway. We let him know that we weren't happy with this and that we didn't want to leave without some answers. So...the doctor decided to give him a hormone that decreases his urine output in the hopes that it helps him retain more fluid. We are also going to try a low sodium diet and Cason will likely need a feeding tube again.
Please pray for clear answers and for God to protect Cason's transplanted kidney. We also know that the Lord is able to completely heal him at any time and continue to pray for this, as well.

So good to hear an update, but so disappointing to read the content. I know this discourages you. I will pray specifically for the hormone treatment to be successful enough to not require the feeding tube again, and I will continue to pray for complete healing alongside you guys. AND, I will be praying for strength for mom and dad because I know you must be tired and ready for answers.
I think of your family everyday. I think of you as parent's...and try to feel what you must feel. A parent's love for their child is far greater than one can described in mere words.You have been faithful to follow God's direction in your quest to heal Caleb...and I know God will give you all the strength you need to fight this fight. He will heal Caleb with his own hands. God Bless your family, Dusty
Lifting up you all and little Cason. May God, our healer, place His Holy hands on Cason and provide complete healing for him. Our God is able. May He increase your faith and dependence on him and give you all peace. I pray specifically that you will not be tossed about like waves of the sea, but that God would help you to belive and not doubt.
