Tomorrow

Family and Friends,

We are off to Birmingham tomorrow morning to repeat the Sweat Test and then we will see the Doctor afterwards. We would love your prayers!

Specific prayer requests:
1. Praying the Dothan sweat test results are wrong.
2. Peace and comfort, if the results are not wrong.
3. Safe trip to and from Birmingham

Love,
Kristee

Sweet and Salty

I debated on putting the latest news on here, but I have had so many people ask me about Lydia's tests.

We did not get the news we were hoping for today. Dr. Ogunbi called and said the "sweat test" came back abnormal. The Sweat Test is to check for Cystic Fibrosis.

Dr. Ogunbi is making Lydia an appointment with a Pulmonary Doctor in Birmingham for additional tests. We will know more about her treatment after we see the Pulmonologist.

Will and I are both doing good and know that God is in complete control. He has his hands wrapped all around our sweet and salty girl and has big plans for her.

Thanks so much for all of your prayers.

"Don't worry about anything, but, in everything through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7)

Special Picture

I was going through old emails and found one from 2009 with this picture attached.

Dantzler is wearing a christening gown from 1908 and Lydia has on the slip for it. It belonged to Will's Grandfather, George Barkley. It was also worn by their Bea-Bea when she was a baby and their daddy too. (Bea's brothers, nieces and grandsons have all worn the gown too) It has been passed down through many generations.

I am so glad we have this picture of the girls wearing such a special, family treasure.
(and thrilled it was returned safely, after two baptisms and a photo shoot)

No Update

We do not have an update. Dr. Ogunbi was a very nice lady that asked us a lot of questions and immediately started ordering tests, to try find out the reason for all the trips to the restroom and the weight loss. Lydia had a lot of blood taken today and a urine sample. We have a couple more tests scheduled in Dothan, then we will report back to Montgomery in a month.

Sweet L waiting and waiting.... This girl totally rocks the department of patience

We are continuing to learn that the pancreas is pretty darn important. It works real close with your ol' digestive system too. So, there is a lot of stuff to rule out and check.

She falls apart after being there over two hours, but it is only because it is past her lunchtime and her BS is low!

Meanwhile, we are waiting, hoping and praying for our sweet girl.

And we are pooped. :) Night.

Tummy Time!

Tomorrow am, Lydia and I are heading to Montgomery to see a Pediatric Gastrologist. She had a routine 'betes check-up in Birmingham a couple of weeks ago. The visit was pretty good, except she had lost a couple of pounds since her last visit in October. Dr. Ashraf had some concern about the weight loss, plus Lydia's ongoing stomach issues.

I told Lydia today that we were going to the stomach doctor tomorrow and she asked me if they were going to cut her stomach open? I assured her that they would not!

Anyway, we would appreciate a prayer or two for our smart girl. We do hope to get some answers that might help with her tummy issues and pray that it is nothing.

Updates to Follow.

Love and Hugs!
