Wow I guess I have left you all hanging on Nicholas!!
Well he had his surgery on August 19, 2013 and he came through like a trooper!! he came home with a drain tube that needed to be removed by his family doctor. Life then continued as normal with us with the odd appointment to see urology in the Sault and follow-up by sick kids. November was his ultra sound to check on his kidney, and it showed a normal kidney, or as normal as it could have been for the assault that was placed on it from birth. and 2 weeks later his urologist from sick kids seen him via telemedicine and said will only see him a year once he is fully potty trained. We have been followed by the urology in the Sault the entire time. now I called sick kids this past November and didn't receive a call back so I let it be.
Now in May Nicholas had another ultrasound and we found that his kidney is swollen again. Not exactly sure why, but sure that there is a blockage. Nicholas had and appointment in July to see urology but that was moved up to the beginning of June, after he had his ultrasound, then at that appointment we found out that Nicholas had to go back to Sick kids to see his original surgeon and they would be able to fix things.
In the mean time 2 days after that appointment In the Sault we got a phone call to return to the Sault area Hospital (SAH) to nuclear med for a kidney scan where the injected a radio opaque dye and watched it move through his kidneys, and that is how to determine if there was a blockage and where that blockage lies. No I haven't heard what the radiologist said about the scan but I do know what I seen and there was a blockage seen. Ok so now what!!
We are now playing the waiting game. I'm watching the porter flight prices as this is how we plan to get there, and waiting near the phone to hopefully see when we have to visit the big city of Toronto again!!
