Today Dan and Elizabeth had an appointment with an OB specialist in Ashville for the second time. The specialist ran a number of tests on the unborn baby. The doctor discovered that the baby has only one functioning kidney. There are a number of cysts in and around the kidney which is preventing it from forming properly and functioning. The other kidney looks fine and there is no reason to believe that the healthy kidney will develop cysts. The doctor believed the cysts had nothing to do with the medication or chemo that Elizabeth is taking or has taken. The doctor was actually optimistic about the overall health of the child. The more severe birth defects, i.e. spina bifida, that were possible are not evident at this time. We continue to praise God for all the blessings He has provided. Please continue to pray for Elizabeth's health and the health of the unborn baby.
Dan and Elizabeth have purchased a home after renting for one year. We are all busy painting and trying to get them ready to move in a couple of weeks. We will post their new address once they move.
Thanks for all of your prayers. - Bruce and Bonnie

Praise Jesus for continued health and safety. I'm sure the little one will also be fine. Isn't it great that God gives us two kidneys....
He is always good.
