I am still so amazed and thankful for the doctors that God placed in our lives and the reaction that each one of the had in the care and urgency of our baby. It was good but emotional once again to see him and hear his heartbeat today but so glad that I still have time with our boy. Today I am reminded of this scripture, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me...for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11: 28-30
On January 7, 2014 our 2nd son that we were expecting (due May 2014) was diagnosed with LUTO (Lower Urinary Tract Obstruction). Due to testing results, Spencer was unable to receive any fetal intervention. This is the story about ours and Spencer's journey.

Monday, January 13th, 2014 - High Risk OB Appointment
After a weekend of letting it all settle in and knowing the reality of the situation is it is still so surreal and we are all still in a state of shock. Today I head back downtown to see the high risk OBGYN, not sure why he wanted to see me but we go anyway to find out. We finally get called back and he performs another sonogram on the baby. He checks his bladder and measures it again and finds that it is only 3.8cm. He confirmed that his kidneys were just not functioning as they should. This information only adds more to the reality of what we are facing, but we are still holding on to the prayers and hope of a miracle for our little boy. He goes over with what we have decided to do and says that from here on out that we would continue to be monitored every two weeks.
