Ammon's Test Results

We went to Vegas & got the results of Ammon's test today. The Right (Pelvic) Kidney is only functioning 21%. The Left Kidney still has a little bit of Hydronephrosis, which means its holding onto too much liquid. This could be the right kidney causing the problem for the left. But, there is no real blockage yet, so no surgery is needed at the moment, because it could cause too much scar tissue to cause even more problems right now. Over the next 3 months if it gets worse, then it will mean surgery. He has to be closely monitored, any fever, pain after drinking too much liquid, etc. and ultrasounds every 3 months now instead of every year because things can change fast.  We'll just continue to keep a close eye on him as always and wait for what changes show on the next Ultrasound in October. 

Ammon was so stressing today at the Doctor.  Thank goodness it was only results and nothing more.  He suddenly remembered his recent experience with doctors and he was very scared.  He didn't want to be there and kept asking if we could go home.  Poor little guy.  It makes me sad to just think about our next Doctor experience and if it may be surgery or what.  We are just taking it one thing at a time and hoping for the best!

Poor little guy. I remember when Tiffany was little and taking her to Doctors and the Hospital. She got to where she would see them in the white coats and start to cry and scream. It was awful. He is lucky to have YOU as His Mommy
