I don't know how to post under the blessing section. But this is a great gift to my family. In case you didn't know, my youngest, Aleya was born with only one kidney, and it was deformed and not functioning properly. Her heart stopped 3 times before she was a year old. She was on medication 4 times a day until almost age three, and they were looking at putting her on the transplant list. She turned 3 on Oct. 25, 2004. Nov. 2nd of that year, she was having the last full work-up before putting her on that list. The head radiologist was doing the tests, then he got two more doctors. They asked me if I had brought the right daughter, what kind of surgery had she had and when....the point is, I left the hospital that day with them telling me something had happened because her kidney was larger and functioning fine, which it had not been doing 3 months prior. I had all the old radiology films showing the difference.
In October of this year, she was hit by some kid in her class right over her left kidney. She had extreme pain and the teacher thought she blacked out for a minute. I had to take her to the hospital in a city 30 minutes away. They again repeated ultrasounds and tests with their head radiologist. He told me her kidney was unharmed because it is tucked under the ribs, unlike most people. She has a perfect, large, healthy kidney. He said it is also unusual because of her history, there should have been all kinds of scar tissue on the kidney. There is none. You can't even tell she ever had a diseased kidney. Aleya's pain must have been the ribs being bruised by the impact.
So how good is God? He gave her a new kidney Himself. Baffled the doctors, gave us the greatest gift this year. Much thanks to Him this year for miracle after miracle with her......
