Turning the first corner!

Hurray! We are so excited. Yesterday the edema seemed to be down considerably in her face around her eyes, although it was still significant in her abdoman, pelvis, and legs. Today the protein level in her urine showed it starting to drop a little. Of course it will take a couple of days to show a trend, but we are very hopeful.

The hospital had told us that a few kids started to show improvement in as little as a week (it has been a week to the day); but average was 3 weeks with some taking as long as four.

I know she is improving so quickly because of the prayers by so many in her behalf and our diligence in following the dietary recommendations. Thank you everyone for your prayers. They are making a difference.
