Quick update:
Little Hazel is scheduled for what I understand is called ureteral reimplantation in March. Her doctor confirmed suspicions of an ectopic ureter and she will need surgery to fix it. She now has 37% function in her left kidney and 63% in her right. Thankfully the bad kidney will be preserved, but it may never regain full function.
We are praising God that she is so healthy despite this little issue. And that we caught this so early. She will never even know what caused the little scar above her pubic bone until we tell her. We would appreciate prayer now and as the surgery date approaches. She has to continue her prescription of a low dose antibiotic to help prevent infection until after all is well with her newly functioning system. Pray that she stays well till March!

We will be praying for Hazel and your family as you all prepare for the surgery. I praise God that he created “her inmost being” and will continue watch over her little body through this time!
