Halle and the Urologist

This week we had an appointment with the urologist since they found a little fluid on Halle's left kidney a few weeks ago. The urologist was not concerned about the fluid at all. He took her off the medication and said he would have us come back for a routine check up in 6 months. This is the really fun part of the appointment...
The PA comes in initially to get all our information and check Halle. She wanted to know our story of how Halle was diagnosed with William's Syndrome. She seemed surprised by our story and wanted to know if we had seen genetics yet. (She use to work with genetics at Children's) After Dr. Kropp had come in and talked to us about Halle, the PA finished up our appointment. She said, "It's really amazing that Halle doesn't have any heart problems, her kidneys look great, and she doesn't look like a William's baby. She also seems to be developmentally where she should be...I would guess that her only issue is that she is just a little smaller than average!"
Yes... we know that her words are not authority to us, but isn't God so good to just use people all over to encourage your heart. We were able to share that we are actually praying specifically for all those things and watching God heal her every day! Thanks for continuing to partner with our family in this journey. The kids and I have been talking about how fun it is knowing people all over the world (literally) are fighting for Halle's healing with us!
One more celebration for the Hartsock family!
