Mason Kidney Update

We had what was probably our last ultrasound for Mason today. Praise the Father because his kidney was even a little bit smaller than last month (9mm). It was still considered mild hydronephrosis though, so we also met with a neonatologist to discuss the possible treatment for him once he is born. Basically, not much can be decided until he is actually born. The first step will be to do a renal (kidney) ultrasound before he and I are even discharged from the hospital. Probably not much will be done after that unless his condition has gotten worse. They will probably just continue to monitor it within his first year to see if it resolves itself. Thank you all so much for your prayers for him! Father has answered them and really allowed us to rely on Him through this.

The doctor measured Mason in several other areas, showing him to be pretty much around the 37-38 week size. My mom arrives here to Bangkok Thursday night (Thursday morning CST). Please pray that Mason will be born at least a week before she has to leave on July 8th. Of course she wants to meet him, but we are also really hoping to have her help with Reister during the labor and delivery.

Here's a shot of Mason's nose and lips - can you tell? I think he's got a cute nose and nice full lips!
