Update on Caelum's Kidneys
So today we went to the Urologist for Caelum's follow-up appointment. We first went for him to have his Ultrasound then met with the Doctor a little bit later. He said Caelum is "not a by the book kid" and is "going to be a handful for us with his urinary system"...not exactly what we wanted to hear. So his right kidney has some reflux still in which should heal on its on and he is not worried at all about his right kidney. His left kidney was dilated by 1cm and is looking like an obstruction. So our next step is for him to get a renal scan. This scan consist of him getting an iv and being cathed. They will insert a dye in the IV in which will allow them to see how his kidneys are or are not flowing. They will then give him a lasix (which will produce lots of urine at one time for him to expel) and then see if the kidneys are working the same. We will go on May 30 for this and then we will see him that afternoon for these results and the next step we will need to take. From what I remember (I was so foggy headed at this point with it all) he said surgery will most likely not be an immediate thing but it will need to be taken care of. So this is where we stand with it all....so please continue to pray for our littlest Dude!!
