Em

I was always told never to ask God why. However, my faith is certainly being tested. I returned home from a weekend with my Grandparents to find Emily's little face puffy and her eyelids filled with Edema. I couldn't find her mother who has a new boyfriend, anywhere.

At her Peditrician's advice, Jamie and I took her to UVA. Dr. Lakkis confirmed that her kidney function is abnormal! Again. This second bout with kidney inflammation could lead to acute renal failure. We have to wait on tests to find out what the next step is. The doctor allowed us to leave and will keep me updated as they learn more. Her urine has traces of blood and protein already.

Emily and I are scared and worried. My daddy hasn't felt well today either. So today was supposed to be a day spent enjoying myself over coffee. It's turned into a nightmare.

I just asked Emily is she wanted to swim, she said no because of a headache. This has never happened.

So I wonder why we have to endure all of this over again? Why?
