For those who have not gotten the update from today's specialist appointment:

We have essentially the same news, but at least this time I didn't want to strangle the doctor before we left. He leveled with us and was as honest and sincere as I would expect anyone in his situation to be. Zero hope. Essentially, no one survives this condition (Bilateral renal agenisis).

We are still believing for a miracle. We know that God is bigger. We also know that sometimes his ways are not our ways, and that it may be real that his answer to our prayers is "No". That does not make him any less faithful or worthy. We are not angry. I ask lots of tough questions that I know i'll probably never get an answer to. I'm coming to terms with that.

I am very appreciative of all the support that everyone has offered over the last couple of weeks. I could not possibly let each of you know how grateful I am for your words of comfort. Right now, though.. we just need your prayers. I'm weak from the battle, and I just can't talk about it all the time. We're ready to progress on in faith that God can heal, and get on with life as best we can.

For that reason, i'm going to disable comments on this post. It's nothing personal or at all in anyway against anyone. Please don't be offended. If you'd like to communicate via e-mail, that would be great... if you know my e-mail feel free to send me one.
