Prayers for Miss Maia please

Maia is undergoing some tests today and Monday so would you please include her in your prayers. Some are routine - she's been home a year and it's time to update her urologic studies and meet with the Nephrologist to see how her kidney function is. We're praying that the reflux from her kidneys back into her bladder that was noted last year has resolved.
We met with Neurology on this past Monday and the visit was uneventful. But, I received a call on Tuesday saying that Maia's head circumference had increased from last year. The NP had reviewed last year's MRI and noted that the radiologist who read the MRI questioned if Maia's shunt was dislodged. This was never followed up on and Tuesday was the first time we had heard about it. So, she will be having another MRI of her brain next Monday to ensure that her ventricles are not enlarged. If they are, our sweet girl will likely need a revision of her shunt.
Thanks for keeping Miss Maia in your prayers. I will let you know how things turn out.
