Visit to the Urologist

Yes we just went to the Nephrologist on Friday and today we went to the Urologist. It's hard to keep up.

Great news! The ultrasound of the kidney showed that it is enlarged (which will always be that way because he only has the one) but the Ureter is not as dilated as it was, which is great!! We still have the issue with the valve not working properly causing the reflux but Rocc will remain on antibiotics to help with any potential infections - which is KEY to keeping him healthy and the kidney functioning (we don't want to cause any more damage to the kidney he does have). The doctor is changing the type of antibiotics he is taking and does not need to see us back for 6 months.

That's 3 months for the Nephrologist and 6 months for the Urologist! They are so amazed and pleased with his progress and of course so are we.
