Isaac's day at Primary Children's hospital

Isaac had his tests today & then an appointment with the pediatric urologist. We had to be there at 9:40 this morning to get registered, so that was a fun morning! (Luckily Ric had the day off so he got the older boys out the door & stayed with Brady & Casey) The first test was 45 minutes long, the doctor inserted a catheter and then an IV, which took THREE tries, my poor baby was NOT a happy guy at this point. Then he placed sand bags over each arm & a larger one on Isaac's legs, so that he could not move. The last part of the test he inserted dye into the IV and that would test how well the kidneys were functioning & how long it took for each to empty. Isaac was so worn out from screaming, he slept most of the test, but whimpered off & on, left me tell you, that broke my heart, I couldn't do anything for him, but rub his head & dip his Binky in cherry syrup. After that test we were off to test number two, which was to see if his bladder was refluxing. The doctor got Isaac all strapped down & hooked up to the water & started the x-ray, only to find out the the catheter has slipped out of his bladder, so he had to remove it & redo it AGAIN, so that upset him all over again. Once it was in the proper place, they filled his bladder with a lot of water to see if it would reflux, it did not!! YAY!! Then they watched on the ultrasound machine to see how his plumbing worked. No kinks, everything drained wonderfully, he peed on the doctor during the procedure, but it kinda served him right ;) After that was all done, his IV got to be removed. It was now time for the urologist appointment, so off we went upstairs. Dr. Wallis was great, he was very thorough & explained things in terms that made sense. SOOOO, here is the news: his left kidney is functioning at 44% and his right at 56% so they are not off too far, (normal is 50/50), his left kidney took 12.6 minutes to drain, & his right took 6.2 minutes to drain the urine, so they are both working, however the right is having to work a little harder. The plan is to do an ultrasound ever 3 months until he is 1 and then every 6 months, the Dr. is hoping it corrects itself & no surgery will be needed, but if the numbers get worse or it doesn't get better then surgery will have to be done.
Please keep him in your prayers that it heals itself!! Love to all!!
