Kidney Transplant?

During one of Levi's hospital visits in the past few months the transplant surgeon mentioned doing a kidney transplant at the same time as the heart transplant.  Levi only has one kidney and we know that heart failure affects kidneys and that the transplant medications are hard on kidneys.  Still, we kinda just blew it off since no one has ever said his kidney was not functioning properly.

Well, this past Monday (August 5th) he went for a kidney transplant consultation.  They did a ton of tests (not quite as many as for the heart transplant consultation) and determined that his kidney is working at 44% of capacity.  It has to be down to 20% to be considered for a transplant.

So, it's good news that he doesn't need a kidney transplant but also concerning to know that it is not working as well as we had assumed.

We have more questions now than we did before .... and no answers yet.  But we know God is in control!
