An update on our sweet Ammon

So, every 6 months for now Ammon has to have an ultrasound on his kidneys. So, he just got one here at the hospital and then we took the film from the Ultrasound down to Vegas to the Pediatric Uroligist. On the ultrasound it showed that the Pelvic Kidney has not grown much and it is half the size of the other kidney. The Pelvic Kidney also has something attached to it that could be a cyst or it could be that the ureter tube is enlarged there. The cyst looking thing was just as big as the Kidney. So, we have to go down to Sunrise Hospital in Vegas and have more tests... we'll be doing that June 27th. So, our little Ammon will have to have an IV :( and have medicine put into his body and a camera machine thing will scan his body for about 45 minutes and will be able to watch the medicine in his body and it will be able to tell us also what his kidneys are doing exactly. It will also be able to tell us how much work each kidney is doing and if the cyst or whatever it is, is creating some sort of blockage and not letting the pelvic kidney function properly. We will be able to know how much work each kidney is doing whether the left is doing 70% and the right is doing 30% or if the left is doing the whole 100%. Hopefully it all goes well. We'll keep you updated! **Note to self- As Ammon get's older he cannot have soda pop, no added salt, Acidy things, no large amounts of protein. Basically a very well balanced diet with NO POP OR ADDED SALT!
