We met with the Pediatric Urologist yesterday and had an ultrasound of Braden's kidneys. The results showed that his right kidney was significantly smaller than his left kidney. His recommendations were to get a couple tests run on the functionality and output of both kidneys. This is to make sure they are both healthy and working especially since if the big one has to do more work since the other one is smaller-- we have to keep that big one healthy. So we go on September 29th for a full day of tests and we meet with the doctor that day to review the results and determine what our next steps are. This was not the news we were hoping for or expecting so I am asking for prayers for our little man. I know God is watching over him, but prayers can cause miracles and I would love one for my guy.
I will update you as soon as I know more.

A friend of mine was at my house on Friday with her kids and was telling me that her youngest(just started 1st grade) only has one kidney. I guess it had cysts in utero and doesn't function now.
She's spunky and DARLING and living life large.
I am sorry it wasn't the news you were hoping for. It sounds like you have some good doctors though that are going to take good care of him. Keep us posted.
Braden is in my prayers. It is so scary when you get the news that your little one isn't 100% healthy. But, there are so many miracles being perfomed by doctors these days, I am sure your little man will be fine. Hey, if they can take Gavin's entire intestine out, rearrange it and put it back in, they can surely fix a kidney, right? Hang in there moms!
We'll be thinking of you guys!
His our CHAMP He'll do great we have no doubt about it.
Amber I'm so sorry it wasn't the news you were hoping for!!! You guys are in our thoughts!!!
I'm sorry too that this wasn't the best news. You are in our thoughts. Your little man is in good hands with good doctors and good mamas, plus all those in blogland sending their support and prayers. I'm sure he's going to be just fine!
Wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you and little Braden's health. We are sending our thoughts and prayers for a well appointment on the 29th.
