We have a little news...

The nurse called today with the results from Peyton's blood work. It is showing normal kidney function. She wants him to come back in the morning to do a repeat urine culture due to the bacteria that was showing up on the last one. She said it could be that the bag was contaminated but they need to be sure. So if all is well with that he is definitely clear for surgery on his feet. She did go on to say that the doctor reviewed his ultrasounds and the right kidney is definitely worse than the left (the left is only mildly affected) and they want him to have a renal scan - which they are scheduling but we don't know the date yet. They will insert an IV and run this radioactive substance through his veins to see how it flows through the kidneys. This way they can see what exactly is causing the urine to back up into the kidneys. Possibilities are a blockage, ureter narrowing, connective tissue or something cutting off the flow, etc. Whatever it is may require surgery to fix. But it is pretty certain at this point that he does have fully functioning kidneys. God is taking care of him!
Hopefully this week we'll have our next trip booked for Houston. I will post again as we get more info . . .
