The Final Test

We are officially going to do the final test to tell us if Kenton has congenital Finnish nephrosis.  I had a difficult time understanding the accent of the woman I was speaking with today, but I got a general idea of what the test would entail.  The lab would use a sample of the amniotic fluid and "grow" cells in two different containers.  After the cells grow to the proper size, they would then compare the genes to see if there are any abnormalities that would indicate congenital Finnish nephrosis.   We are still not guaranteed an answer to what is causing the protein in the amniotic fluid, but this hopefully will provide more answers. 

So, it's another waiting game.  She told me it could take anywhere from 2-4 weeks for results.  In the meantime, we pray for answers, healing, and strength.
