Kidney Update

Awesome news--Adam's right kidney is working great! As many of you may remember they discovered cysts on the left kidney during pregnancy. I had monthly level 2 ultrasounds to monitor the development of the right kidney and everything seemed fine. Yesterday, Adam had to go through a battery of tests involving IVs, catheters, X-rays and he was awesome. He even slept through the long 50 minute test. The results show that the left kidney involuted or basically disappeared which can take up to 2 years but happened very quickly for Adam. Yay! The right kidney shows no issues with reflux or obstruction though is a bit enlarged which is to be expected as it is doing the work of 2 kidneys. We will have an ultrasound at 3 months as follow up but otherwise things are looking perfect.
