Brody kidney worsened day by day because of the partial fix in his lower ureter. Dr. U decided another surgery was necessary asap. We went in to CHKD March 2nd and she went in through his lower back so she was able to get to the top of the ureter and do the repair. While she was in there, she realized a couple things. (1)everything was much worse and confusing than she had originally thought and (2) He actually has a third ureter and kidney! Crazy I know! She disconnected both of his right kidneys and ureters and reattached the without the bad stuff. The next morning she sent Brody down for an ultrasound (they don't normally do an ultrasound until 15 weeks after because they never show any difference that soon and if they do its normally bad) to make sure that everything was still the way the thought and just to double check there work. The urology resident came in hours later and told me that it was better. I'm sitting there all dumb like saying "oh its better? how much better?" thinking that any better is good and she is just trying to tell me thats its not worse! But NO! I WAS WRONG! IT'S ACTUALLY BETTER! The fluid had already began draining from the kidneys and the dilation wasn't as bad. Pre-surgery the size was 11.2, Post-surgery 9.5!
Thank You Lord! Proof that prayers really do help!
