Anna Update...

Anna's urologist gave us a great report today! He was so very pleased with the results from the ultrasound, that he said no further tests are needed at this point. He said "This is exactly what I hoped to find." Her cystic kidney is less than a 1/2" in size now and continuing to shrink. No tumors or such kinds of growths were indicated in any of the other organs, and her good kidney continues to increase in size to make up for the one that is lacking. Given the circumstances, he gave us the best report possible today. They will continue to monitor her on a yearly basis with ultrasounds as they did today, for another 8 years. We are so thankful to our God who has been so gracious to us. Thank you to so many who have voiced assurance of their prayers and concerns for our little girl. We are so grateful for each one of you who included us in your thoughts and prayers.

Rejoicing,
George and Kristin

Here are a few pictures of the excellent Urology Hosptial in Pretoria. We are so grateful for Dr. Dirk Ligthelm and his expertise. He has been a tremendous doctor. From the very beginning - just 3 days after Anna was born - he has looked after our little girl and been available to talk on the phone whenever we needed it. God surely led us to you. Thank you Doctor!
