Please know that we are praying daily for your strength and that the peace that surpasses all understanding will be known by each of you.

Praying for you today,

I do not know you but went onto the Internet looking for encouragement because I am 20 weeks pregnant and found out yesterday that my baby has Infantile Polycystic Kidney Disease - and that I have low amniotic fluid as well. I am praying for a miracle from God because I know that is the only hope I have. I was amazed when I read your article because your family went through the same situation that I am currently going through. I have already prayed for peace and God has given it to me (and my husband). Others can't understand how we can be so stable at a time like this. I tell them it is not peace from within myself but only through the grace of God. What was the outcome with the baby in your family? Just curious. I know God doesn't always do what we ask because He can see the big picture while I can only see my own desires. Thank you for your encouragement. I feel blessed to have found your message.

About Our Situation

Matt and Kari are due to have a baby boy in October. They have a son in high school named Jeff and lots of family who are all very excited to welcome this little blessing into this world. Matt and Kari received a report from their physician that the baby has been diagnosed with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease or ARPKD. This is the same disease that took the life of their five-month-old daughter Natalie almost nine years ago. With the disease, the baby's kidneys are forming fluid filled cysts that are taking up room in the kidneys and damaging the tissue in the kidneys, causing them not to function properly. Additionally, when the kidneys do not function properly, it causes a loss in amniotic fluid, which isn't good for the baby and causes Kari discomfort as well. The diagnosis is serious and needless to say, we are very concerned. Kari and Matt have been going to St. Louis for care to take place throughout the remainder of Kari's pregnancy.

Ok, on to bigger and better. A diagnosis is just that....a diagnosis. We know that God is bigger and that He can do all things....things that defy everything we know to be medically true.....even a diagnosis like this. This said, we are praying and BELIEVING in a miracle. We know in our hearts that the Lord seeks to draw us closer to Him and that His plans for our lives are to prosper us, so we know we can trust in His will for our lives. Please join us in praying and believing in the miracle we know we will see. We are committing ourselves to prayer and fasting for this cause and invite you to do the same. We know your prayers will be heard along with ours and that we can expect to see great things happen. We are praying life to the kidneys and death to the disease, and for peace for Matt, Kari, and Jeff. Matt and Kari and the family will update this site often with news on the baby's progress, updates on their progress as they deal in the situation, and specific ways that we can pray and support this family.
