Ty and Erika received more information about the upcoming procedure and it has mainly eased the anxiety. The procedure should be simple and may only require one night in the hospital. The fact that it’s a procedure and not a surgery is calming in itself. They believe that the left kidney is not functioning well due to obstruction of the left ureter, which carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. This stent should help.
Given the difficulty of the last surgery recovery and the setback in strength that ARDS caused, any procedure can wear the parents’ nerves. But knowing that it’s pretty straightforward and shouldn’t require much recovery is helpful.
There still isn’t a real treatment plan in place (as far as I’ve heard), but it will come in time.
Glad to hear that some of the anxiety’s have been lifted! I was just saying to Ryan this morning how terrified you all must be given the circumstances that arose after the last surgery! What parent wouldn’t be anxious to send their child in for a surgery or procedure anyway – and then to add the fear of a “repeat”! So, anyway- I am relieved that this “procedure” is going to be “simple!”
I just re-read the “What a Day” update…. and just can’t help smiling! Knowing those (usually!!) angelic girls like I do, I simply can’t help but laugh at the chaos that must have unfolded last night! Oh, the ups & downs of parenthood….. 🙂
See you kids tomorrow!
Love~ Jenni, Ryan, Emily, Lily & Parker
Prayers coming your way for the next procedure. Glad to hear that things are showing up “fine” as far as the tests are concerned. What a great picture of the three most important little people in your lives!! Enjoy your “normal” days at home, choas and all, and we will pray that it will be that way everyday for your family very soon!!
Love, Glenda Steve Josh Megan and Jacob
In all the news of the girls’ doings, forgot to hip hooray re the clear tests and the relief of a procedure vs surgery. Best wishes, as always.
